Last chance to take part in survey for research study & win Love2Shop vouchers
LEaD is asking students who were studying one or more International Politics modules in 2020-2021 to fill in an online survey. The survey is part of a research study on asynchronous active learning online.
The online survey is open until Wednesday 30th June. To encourage more students to participate the LEaD team have doubled the number of vouchers for participants. We are especially interested in hearing from Post Graduate students on their experiences.
There are 16 questions and 5 additional questions on your background and experience. The whole survey should take less than ten minutes to complete. We will randomly allocate a £10 Love2Shop egift card voucher to 40 students who complete the survey.
More details about the project can be found in the participant information sheet.
