CS200 Course Improvement Survey

This unofficial survey is designed to ask specific questions whose answers I hope will help me make future courses better. This is not a replacement for doing the official SEAS course evaluation survey. By signing the course pledge you agreed to do both.

Please answer as many questions as you want, as usefully as you can.
