Dear Colleague,
You are invited to participate in this survey, run in conjunction with the Council of University Classics Departments (CUCD). Information collected will be compared with the results of the survey undertaken by CUCD during 1994 in order to measure progress in the interim, and to report on current and planned practices in Classical Language teaching. Results will be reported via the CUCD Bulletin so that they are available to all staff teaching Classics at UK universities.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate - no participating individual or university will be named in any report produced from your answers. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Mair Lloyd, Open University Research Student and Survey Administrator at
[email protected]
