Instructions for Evaluation of ATISP August 2002


There are two purposes to this evaluation. The first block of 9 items will provide feedback to the National Science Foundation (NSF) to evaluate the Advanced Training Institute in Social Psychology held at CSUF July 9-14, 2003 with respect to its value to science, education, and your professional development. The second purpose is to provide information to the Board of Advisors of our ATISP to help them make improvements for future sessions of the ATI. If you wish, you may include or omit your name.
