COMPUTER SURVEY FOR MIT 2003-2005 STUDENTS

We imagine that some of you will have access to a personal computer and some of you will not.  We also know that, as a group, you'll have a wide range of experiences with computer programs. In order to plan assignments and workshops thoughtfully, we would like to know if you do have a personal computer, as well as the nature of your proficiency with various computer operations and software. (Evergreen has a computer lab you'll have access to throughout the program.)
