Survey Delivery Suggestions 

To allow full customization of questions and control of response data, faculty (or departments) are invited to construct their surveys using the available tools they are most familiar with, such as:

  • UVA Qualtrics is a secure survey platform, accessible to all UVA faculty
  • Email a set of questions to students and ask for individual email responses, if you have a small class
  • Delivery options:
    • Share a survey link or email with students before the semester begins
    • Provide students with the link during a live class session and ask them to complete it as an in class activity (suggested time: 10 minutes)

Survey

Introduction to Students

Please take your time filling out this survey, which will help me to get to know you better and identify potential barriers to your learning in our current challenging circumstances. I recognize that each of us is coming into this course with a particular set of challenges, potentially including new health concerns, food insecurity, technology limitations, responsibilities and distractions. My goal is to create a learning environment that meets the needs of a diverse student body and, as such, I need to know a little more about you. That being said, please only share what you feel comfortable sharing, responses to the individual questions are not mandatory.
