Live Poll Results

Class poll questions are changed every week (or so). Your answers are completely anonymous. We can only count the votes---we can't tell who votes or how you vote.

So what do you have to lose? Even if the poll does not apply to you, or doesn't even interest you....VOTE! That's the only way we can even hope to have some degree of validity.

Check back each week!
