The Department of Chemistry endeavors to provide you the best possible experience in general chemistry laboratories. To that end, we would appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey below so that we can continue to improve our laboratories. Please record your answers on the computerized Optiscan sheets provided by your lab instructor. If you also wish to turn in anonymous written comments on the back of this form, you may do so by tearing off this questionaire with your written comments.
