You have completed Part 1 (Strategy) of the Survey and will get a summary of those results (all the above questions).

You will also have the opportunity to participate and be included in the distribution of Part 2 (Metrics) results, by completing a few more questions that will be sent to you.  This is being done in two parts, because you would most likely need to stop and compile the data to answer these final set of questions. When you get Part 2 you can choose if you would like to participate, after seeing the questions. It will not affect your involvement in Part 1.

Now it's time to Submit/Finish your responses. 

Any questions can be sent  to kblache@utk.edu
