Friends who teach languages (any), can you help? In my research methods class, my students are learning about different tools, including surveys. We are also doing simple stats on JASP. They chose AI as their topic and created this survey. It should take only 5-10 minutes to fill out, and it will give my students some real data to work with. Thanks, Charlene
