ASU First Year Seminar UCO 1200 (Contemporary Green Living) Sustainability Literacy Survey
This survey was conducted in two parts during the Fall of 2010. The ten question survey was designed as a pilot survey used to access the sustainability literacy of a group of ASU freshman First Year Seminar students. The survey was administered on the first day of class. The same survey was administered again on the last day of class. The following results conclude that the student’s literacy did increase. More results are needed in order to determine whether or not the course was directly responsible with the increased literacy rates.

3. Does your campus prioritize energy efficiency?
