Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS)
Thank you for participating in the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS). We hope you find this report helpful for learning more about how your students think about experimental physics. On this tab of the report, you will find an overall summary of your students' responses and comparison data from similar level courses. For more information on how to read this report, or how this report was analyzed, see the "How to Read This Report" and "How This Report was Analyzed" tabs. The final tab provides a list of questions as well as the "expert-like" responses for each.
If you have questions about the survey or the results, or if you would like to make suggestions to improve the usefulness of the survey and report, we have two ways to hear your voice:
- Complete a Six Question Survey
- Email your questions or thoughts directly to our research team at: eclass@colorado.edu
