This questionnaire is part of the Research Study on the Dynamics of the Information System (IS) Development Process. To understand the design process, we need you to complete this form each week. Both clients and students are being asked to complete this form. Your answers are kept strictly confidential by having the answers reported directly to the researchers. Class Teaching Assistants are informed only when a form is completed by a student (not the contents) so that students may obtain appropriate credit for form completion. Your name is needed on the form so that we can track your work over the course of the semester. Thank you in advance for your time in completing this form.
