Subject:      VIDEO SURVEY

To all Instructors/Professors of Psychology:
Hello!
        You may recall that I wrote earlier in the semester asking for informa-
tion on the use of videotaping to evaluate teaching performance.  First of all,
thanks to all of you who responded with your personal stories--they were very
helpful.  I have found, however, that there is little research on this topic
and I have therefore decided to conduct a brief survey on the use of video.  I
would appreciate very much if you would take a few minutes to complete this
survey--whether you have videotaped your performance in the past or not. I'd
like to get an idea of how common, and how helpful this type of evaluation
really is!  Thanks in advance--and Happy Holidays!!
