I'm an undergraduate and I'm busy. Why should I take this survey?

There are many good reasons to participate in this research project. To list a few:

  1. Make a difference. UCUES is your chance to influence policy in your major, your college, throughout campus, and across the UC system. It is the only effort of its kind to systematically collect feedback from all undergraduates about what is working well, what is not working well, and what is important to you. Your responses will be used by faculty and staff in a variety of ways to help evaluate and improve the experience of current and future undergraduates.
  2. Be counted. As with voting, your opinions do not count unless you participate. Administrators need to hear from a broad array of students to obtain an accurate and well-rounded perspective.
  3. It's easy. It only takes about twenty minutes to complete. You don't even have to leave your computer.
  4. Win great prizes. Each year we give out thousands of dollars' worth of prizes, from iPods to cash prizes to bookstore gift cards, to a lucky group of randomly selected participants. The earlier you complete the survey, the more chances you have. But you have to participate to win.
