E-learning: Pre-course questionnaire

It's a good practice to create an statement for students to sing in before they take your online courses. I am copying below the statement in an online course I am taking at the moment...

Course Title This questionnaire forms the first part of the course evaluation. It is intended to seek your awareness of [Course's Title here] and your expectations of the course. You should fill it in and return it before you start the activities of week 1. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete this questionnaire.
