Hi,
On a Nov 16th post I asked members of this group to consider  
participating in a survey that I'm using to collect data for my  
dissertation. Many of you did and I am very grateful for your  
participation and valuable feedback.

I am posting a second time, in case some of you intended to  
participate and haven't yet. If so, please take a few (15 or so)  
minutes to complete the survey.
A special plea goes to those of you that teach pre-calculus at the  
postsecondary level. My response rate is low for this group?

Please see the links below.

Best wishes,
Kostas Stroumbakis.
