The response was overwhelming. In the end, I decided to use questions from the Yale study (at the suggestion of several people) plus a few others (at the end), mainly to allow the students to see how their responses compare to US national responses (though the Yale groups is gathering responses in other countries as well, I believe). So, there are now several options for questions: A) My questions culled from Leiserowitz, Smith and Marlon i) As a Word document -- attached. ii) As a Blackboard survey module you can just import into your Blackboard course - attached (the file named .Survey_ExportFile...) iii) As an Excel spreadsheet that you can "batch upload" as questions into an existing survey in Blackboard -- on request. iv) Leiserowitz, A., Smith, N. & Marlon, J.R.

New Haven, CT: Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. http://environment.yale.edu/climate/files/ClimateChangeKnowledge2010.pdf B) A full quiz available on request from Frank Alcock -- [email protected] C) Any of the questions in Leiserowitz, Smith and Marlon -- go to URL above D) Any of the range of questions below in this "Test Bank" Best to all for 2011, Ron ---------------- Thanks to the following people for contributing questions to the attached "Climate Literacy Survey Question Bank": Mark Stanislaus McCaffrey, Mark Carey, Alison Kwok, Greg Retallack, Climate Literacy project, Trudy Cameron, Cass Moseley, Greg Bothun, Tony Leiserowitz, Mary Pettenger, Mary Wood, Riley Dunlap, Stephen Bocking, Frank Alcock, Peter Haas, Jessica Green, Tim Hicks, Frank Vignola, Shannon Orr, John Orbell, Leonard Hirsch, I was reminded of the Pew Global Warming Basics page, <http://www.pewclimate.org/global-warming-basics> http://www.pewclimate.org/global-warming-basics.
