QUESTIONNAIRES

Dear students:

Now you can find some questionnaires in the blog.
Remember to leave your answers as a comment, specifying the number of questionnaire you are answering and your name.

I haven't uploaded all of them, just a few, so don't panic if you don't see your questionnaire in the blog.

I have answered all your emails. If you haven't received an answer that means I haven't received your questionnaire, so send it back.

Remember that you have until December 12th (included) to answer the questionnaires and send me your projects.

Have a nice long weekend.

Your teacher.
