High School Student 1st Survey Questions

Submitted by Debra Austin on Sun, 09/30/2007 - 9:48pm

Your teachers spent part of their summer going to school. They were learning more about making computer games. They were working with us, a team of professors and graduate students from the University of Denver. Some of the team members will come out to your school to work with you and to see how you are doing learning more about computer games.

You are the very first school in Colorado to try learning about making computer games in this way. In order to learn more about how this project is working at your school, it will help us to learn more about you. We care very much about your learning and your answers to these survey questions. Please do the best job you can of answering the questions and we look forward to meeting you and working with you this year at MLK. If you do not know the answer to a question, it is ok to put I don't know.
