First Day of Classes

Ken Janda, Jeff Berry and I have created a web-based survey that
instructors are free to use in introductory American government classes. It
surely is appropriate for first-day use. You can customize the survey for
your classes through a registration procedure. The registration procedure
generates a unique URL. Point your students to the URL created by the
registration process. The marginals return to you at another (unique) URL.
So the second day of class, you can analyze the results. No more coding or
paper distribution.

If there is interest in other surveys of this sort, we can probably
generate and distribute them by the same process.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
