Hi:

If you happened to use the platform this semester, you'll have to answer an online survey. It was created in order to know your opinion about the use of the platform and the things you considered useful during the semester.

Thanks for taking the time to answer it!

Just a reminder: Next Monday from 8 to 11 am, same place.
See you there!
