FISH 406 pre-quarter survey

Why am I asking you to answer these questions?

This survey is designed to help me understand your personal circumstances, so that I can modify our course to best meet your needs. In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, everyone needs support and accommodation, and learning something about your circumstances will help me to make sure that this course does what it is supposed to do: teach you some stuff about parasite ecology, create a supportive learning community, and put you and your well-being first!
