Please help us by filling these Course Surveys
Hello!I know you are SUPER BUSY getting ready for your exams, so I will make it quick.
I added two surveys at the end of the Exam Prep sequence.
The first is a general survey about 2.001.
The second is specifically about camp.
I cannot tell you HOW IMPORTANT is for me that you fill up these surveys. They are done through google forms so they are ENTIRELY anonymous.
I rely on your feedback to continue to change (trying to improve) this class: I really value your insight and I am very grateful to you for taking the time to help us.
Here are the links:

https://lms.mitx.mit.edu/courses/course-v1:MITx+2.001r_8+2018_Fall/courseware/F18_Final_Exam/FEX_Prep/14
Even if you did not participate in camp I have a few questions for you, so PLEASE go through that survey as well.
If you did participate in camp, it is really crucial for me to have your feedback!!!
This is the first time we try the camp approach, and I will continue (or not) based on your feedback.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
