    Dear Introductory Biomechanics Professor/Instructor,

    If you are reading this, we anticipate that you currently teach or have
    taught an undergraduate Introductory Biomechanics course in North America
    within the last five years in departments of exercise science, HPER,
    kinesiology, etc.. If this is incorrect, we apologize for the
    inconvenience and ask if you could please disregard this email.

    We are writing you today to recruit your voluntary participation in an
    anonymous survey. This survey is designed to document the current status
    of the instruction and assessment strategies utilized in the undergraduate
    Introductory Biomechanics course in North America. The brief,
    approximately twenty minute survey will consist of demographic questions
    about you, your department, your Introductory Biomechanics course, and the
    instruction and assessment strategies you utilize in lecture and
    laboratory sessions. We urge you to take this survey, regardless if your
    course has laboratory sessions or not.

    The results of this survey will be submitted for presentation at scientific
    conferences and publication in scientific publications. No information
    will be specifically identifiable to you, as your survey submission is
    completely anonymous. Additionally, results will be presented in
    aggregate form and distributed on the BIOMCH-L for all to benefit.

    Thank you for considering our request. We anticipate that your responses
    will contribute to the improvement of biomechanics teaching.

    The following link will lead you to the web-based survey.

    Please respond before November 10th, 2010 to ensure your input is included
    in the study.
