Survey of PFS 2010 Indonesia course students

Hellooo everyone, how are you guys doing !

Nine years ago,  you met and staye together for 6 weeks in Indoneis for the "Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainable Development Fieldcourse", a fieldcourse of the Program for Field Studies in Tropical Asia organized by ATBC Asia-Pacific Chapter, University of Indonesia and University of Gajah Mada. That was an unforgettable experience, I hope! And I also hope the course was a good start for your research career.

How time flies! Its time to look back, to say "Hi" to eveyone, to see what and how are you doing, and to get your opinions to make future fieldcourses better together.

We prepared 23 questions to talk with you, these question covers "Your current career status", "The usefulness of the fieldcourse to you and your suggestions", "Your communication with your course fellows and instructors".

Please spend some time on this survey, and please make sure your answers are from your heart. 

We will remove all of your personal information before doing analysis or share the results.

Yours Sincerely 
Liu, Jing-Xin (刘景欣)
