Exit Survey

Please help me improve my teaching and refine the course content by answering a few questions on this survey.

Thank you all for an awesome semester! This class was a lot of fun to teach and I am looking forward to using your feedback to improve it next time around.  I know I learned some things (besides Imgur) and I am hoping that you did too. 

Feel free to bring any food, drink, music and pictionary games to class Wednesday.
