Display L-6: Whether the amount of time being spent on each of 12 activities is more than what was expected. Display L-7: Whether the amount of time being spent on each of 12 activities is less than what was expected. Display L-8: Reasons for attending college. Display L-9: Reasons for attending CU-Boulder. Display L-10: What things should change at CU-Boulder. Display L-11: The personal issue with the greatest potential for preventing one from getting a degree.
