Romance Languages Learning Outcomes Survey/Winter Term 2009/Final Version

This is a common survey for all Romance Languages courses. As such, some questions may not be as pertinent to your particular class as others, but we ask you that you answer them all. Please understand the term "target language" as the language you are studying: French, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian.
The survey consists of seventeen questions that ask for responses to be chosen from a single scale.
