Assessment is an important component of this program and thus we will be conducting evaluations throughout the summer. 

Your responses to all assessments during the program are very important to us.

This assessment is geared towards your current attitudes toward research and science.  Please respond to the following questions by focusing on how you feel about research. 

Remember that your responses are completely confidential, so please honestly represent your attitudes and feelings.
