As we have discussed in class, I am interested in conducting a research project comparing different methods of teaching Physical Geology; specifically, to compare students participating in an on-line class to those enrolled in a traditional class. I will be using your responses to the questions below for education and publication purposes, however you will never be personally identified - your identity will remain anonymous. It should take approximately 10 minutes to respond to the questions. While there are no forseeable risks or benefits to you, this research may provide information to enhance the instruction of geology. If you have any questions, please contact me at (713) 743-3411 or jbutler@uh.edu.

If you have any questions regarding your rights as a human subject, please contact the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at (713) 743-9204.

As soon as I record a "tick mark" by your SSN, I will remove the SSN from the survey. Your responses will not influence your grade in the course.

If for some reason you can not transmt this response, print out the questions, answer them and put the responses in my mail box in room 312 Science Research.
