Student Research Survey (Part I)

This is the first part of a two part survey.

Your response to this survey will help Carleton to understand the value of the summer research experiences and how to better support students in math and science through the Carleton Interdisciplinary Science & Math Initiative (CISMI). Please be as precise as you can in your answers. Please choose "not applicable" for any activity you did not do. You may find one or more questions at the end of each section that invite an answer in your own words. Please comment candidly, bearing in mind that future students will benefit from your thoughtfulness.

We would like you to enter your name below. This will improve our ability to link information about your summer research experience to your responses to other Carleton surveys. Your name will only be used to make this linkage to help us understand your total experience. Carleton faculty will not see your name and individual comments will not be attributed to you.

This survey is organized to first concentrate on your overall Carleton College experience and then to focus in on your summer research experience. This first set of questions pertains to your overall Carleton experience.
