Dear GCAT
participants,
GCAT
participation includes the use of standardized assessment. To make this process
easier and faster, we have launched an new online system.
Each student self-registeres when he or she is ready to take the pre-survey.
Students must complete the entire survey at one sitting.
Faculty Should have their students:
1) At the begining of the semester or project, take a student pre-survey that collects biographical information and a 12 question survey that should take 15 minutes or less.
