Hello:
Thank you for your willingness to take this short survey. The purpose of the survey is for OBU to discover ways to improve the Intensive English Program (IEP). Specifically, we want to know if the IEP is meeting the needs of its students. Thus, many of the questions will ask you about your experiences and needs before and during your enrollment in OBUs IEP.

However, we want to assure you that your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project.

Consequently, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Keely Robertson, Director/Instructor of Intensive English Program at 405.878.2129 or by email at the email address specified below.Thank you very much for your time and support.
