Outcome surveys:

There are two web-based surveys used to assess learning outcomes in EE 233. At the bottom of each survey web page, answer Yes to the question "Do you want an email confirmation that your results were saved?". Forward this confirmation to the course instructor and if you complete BOTH surveys, your lowest homework score will be dropped in grade calculations.

You must have a UW NetID (e.g. account whose email ends with @u.washington.edu) to respond to the surveys.

  1. Background survey (taken off-line as of 01-22-01). Please take this survey before January 19 so the results can be used in lecture planning for EE 233. Note that the numerical scale is 1 (worse or lowest) to 5 (best or highest).
  2. End-of-quarter survey (posted February 28). Please fill out this survey no later than 5 PM Friday March 9. Note that the numerical scale is 1 (worse or lowest) to 5 (best or highest).
