Nuts and Bolts Questionnaire

Traditional Paper:

• NutsAndBoltsQuestionnaire.pdf: PDF file of Nuts and Bolts Questionnaire
  • Pre-printed paper copies are available from Heather in the Math Department Office
• The following link can be placed in a web page if you want to make the file available to your students:
  • https://twiki.math.cornell.edu/pub/ITO/NutsAndBolts/NutsAndBoltsQuestionnaire.pdf

On-Line:

Currently, the on-line version of the Questionnaire is only available for use in BlackBoard. The on-line version is much shorter than the paper version. BlackBoard provides no simple way to see a sample of the on-line version so I have made a Demo of the on-line version of the questionnaire which you can see without logging in to BlackBoard or enrolling in a sample course. The Demo Nuts And Bolts Questionnaire behaves the way the BlackBoard implementation does, but the [SUBMIT] and [CANCEL] buttons are inactive.
