[comp.theory] theory textbook adoption survey

beigel-richard@CS.YALE.EDU (Richard Beigel) (04/27/91)

Bob Floyd and I are trying to make a quantitative comparison among
several publishers.  Previously we solicited comments from authors.
Now I would appreciate comments from teachers.  If you would fill out
the following survey, I think it would take under 3 minutes total.  If
you can only spare 1 minute, we would still appreciate answers to Part
I.  Individual reponses will be kept confidential.  Just edit the
file, fill in the blanks, and mail the completed form to
rjb@cs.yale.edu.  Thank you.  -- Richard Beigel

P.S. If you edit this file with emacs, you will be placed
automatically into overwrite mode, in order to make the blanks easier
to fill in.
