This is an attitude inventory (survey) that can “provide information on student perceptions (emotions, feeling, attitudes) of their classroom experience. For example it can reveal perceptions on:
Attitudinal surveys may also focus on students' needs in taking a course, how well those needs are met, student interest in or appreciation for the subject matter or field, student confidence in their ability to perform in a course, or their beliefs about the nature of the discipline itself.”
