RE: Session 7 - 503WA3, Pre Course Survey

The purpose of EVOC 503 WA3 was to prepare a Pre Course Survey instrument for the course I instruct in Information Technology - Computer Repair. The following six criteria were specified:

1. Comply with all of the General Criteria for Written Assignments.
    

2. Develop an "Pre Course Survey" for a particular course. The survey instrument should not be more than 1 page (typewritten or word processed).
    

3. The survey should be designed so that students are required to actually write answers to specific questions and have enough room on the form to write their answers.
    

4. Include questions on the survey that begin with words like "how," "what" and "why."
    

5. Avoid questions that suggest the expected answer and questions that can be answered by single words such as "yes" or "no."
    

6. On the cover memo (see #1 above) indicate and briefly describe at least one specific resource from which additional information about student surveys can be obtained.

The following sources of information were used relative to this assignment:

1. Timothy, Green - ROP Automotive Instructor, Palmdale High School

2. Milt, Sawyer - ROP Marketing Instructor, Palmdale High School

3. Don Brummett - Technology Manager, AVROP

4. Moreno, Leonard - From my own classroom experience

I believe that the attached report meets all six of above listed criteria and respectfully request full credit: one point for meeting each of the above listed criteria.
