I have to write an article for my Feature Writing class, and right now I'm in the surveying phase for the article and trying to get a fair and balanced representation of all....so, all Aggies & non-Aggies...if u have a minute & a half to spare, can ya PLEASE help a sista out & fill this out real quick?
There is a questionaire for those majoring in something math-related (mathematics, accounting, finance, etc. - NOT engineering), there is one for those majoring in something english/writing-related (english, print journalism, creative writing, etc.), and there is one for those not majoring in either (this one is for engineering majors)...
(To the non-Aggies, please also include what school you attend.)
Thanks everyone, i REALLY appreciate it...NON-ENGLISH/NON-MATH MAJORS
