Summary:
You will gather information about the structure of the course and give me a little information about you
Objectives:
 
Collaboration:
Each student should turn in his or her own version of the assignment. However, you may certainly sit with other students as you review the course materials and answer the questions. You may discuss the assignment with anyone you wish. You may obtain help from anyone you wish, but you should clearly document that help.
Submitting:
Use PioneerWeb to submit this assignment (Questionnaire). Use only PDF format. Failure to use a PDF format will result in failing the assignment. (Log in to PWeb, navigate to this course, click on Assignments to the left.)

What to turn in

There are several ways to generate a PDF. Your word processor will usually do so quite easily (via the "Save As" option in Word or "Export as PDF" in LibreOffice). Though it produces less attractive results, you can also create a text file (say, questionnaire.txt) and transform it into a PDF using enscript(1) and ps2pdf(1) as follows:
$ enscript -2 -r -p - questionnaire.txt  |  ps2pdf - questionnaire.pdf
