If the University were to consider changing how the Mobile Computing Program works, what would be your preference for the future of the program? Note that this might affect the technology fee. I prefer the current program where the University provides a standard laptop computer, software, and computer support, the fee remains consistent. I prefer to purchase my own computer, understanding that I would be responsible for computer software and repairs on my own, the fee may be lower. I prefer to have the University provide a computer, software, and computer support, but I would like to have a greater choice of computers, the fee depends on my choice. 32.1% 34 13.2% 14 5 55 3 answered question 5.
