GETSI Teaching with Geodetic Field Methods Survey

Thank you for participating in this survey. We would like to know about your experiences with the GETSI Field 2 modules, and in particular, program features that were key to successfully implementing the modules in your particular context (course, institution, class size). Your responses will inform future programming and supports.

Your responses will be kept confidential. Your name will not be shared with your responses and will only be available to evaluators. When individual quotes are used to illustrate important points in program reports and/or publications, your name and other identifying information will not be disclosed.
