Demographic Information

I want to know what YOUR impressions are about academic writing and the feedback you get on it. As a
result, I am looking for information on your experiences regarding writing, both in your current English
course and those you have taken in the past.

Your answers are confidential and will be combined with ALL answers. Further, I will not know the
answers provided by any individual student. The purpose is to help me to improve the learning outcomes
for the students I serve. As a result, demographic information is gathered to help me to best meet the
needs of varied student groups.
