Introduction to Project-Based Learning Endline Questionnaire

Hi there!

Thank you for taking the time to fill in your answers to the 'Introduction to Project-Based Learning' survey.

We ask these questions so that we can measure how well we're doing in our training and course development, so that what we share with you is always best in class!

This is the second of two surveys about the 'Introduction to Project-Based Learning' programme that we are asking you fill in. The second survey is done after you complete any training and gives us an idea of what you understand, after having gone through the course work. This is called the Endline and is this assessment below.

Please take a few minutes to respond to the questions below. All information is treated securely and is for research and analysis purposes only.

There are no right or wrong answers and you won’t be measured nor judged on anything you share. Please be as honest and open as possible.
