CISE REU Survey 2015 POST |
1. Introduction and Consent
Informed Consent for CISE REU Assessment
Project Title and Purpose
You are invited to take a few minutes to complete a brief survey. This survey is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Computing & Information Sciences and Engineering Research Experience for Undergraduates (CISE REU) program in which you are a participant. This research will provide us with insight into how to make this experience more useful and rewarding for future participants. This evaluation research is separate from your REU experience; your choice to participate or refrain from participation in the research project does not affect participation in or experience in the REU. If you have questions about your REU experience, you will need to contact your REU site faculty.
