FindYourPeers

Student Group Work Survey

I am building FindYourPeers to help students find better teammates for group projects. Your answers tell me whether this is worth building or not and what to prioritize. Responses are anonymous but, you can provide an email at the end if you want to stay in the loop. About 3 minutes to complete.

Note: This survey is for current students only.
