    Even for the final verb? (I'm not doubting you, I'm trying to learn too.)

    But you should definitely go with what @Beldaran says over me, @a tiny mushroom. Remember, you've read my story about how I learned what I know hanging out with music biz people and shop staff and bar hostesses and then took classes and how Sensei despaired of trying to make me a proper lady ^^;;;

    (...sensei, please stop looking at me because the uberbro in our class used the word 'sukebei'. You're right that I do know all the words you don't want our classmates to learn, but I would've taught someone who would use them properly--not in class--and I would've taught them a better word than that one, and the reason you caught me teaching that stoner girl the words for 'weed' outside of class was that I overheard her wondering if she should take the risk and try and bring it with her because she didn't even know what it was called in Japanese!)

    Yep. Makes formal academic writing a bitch because suddenly your paper is three pages shorter than expected.

    This is so awesome, guys, thank you so much!

    let's see: yep, should be professional,

    and the pre/post are just that this is a pre-assessment and there will be a post assessment, so it's slang in referring to it, essentially. that one doesn't particularly require student interaction, I guess

    also, yep, site as location works perf

    Well, that's good because the first thing I was going to say is that 前 / 後 is used to indicate a.m./p.m. on forms usually so it didn't make much sense in that context.

    if there's something for before and after? Or, conversely, just using pre-assessment & post-assessment.

    This is making me very conscious of how much we arbitrarily shorten words and how frustrating that probably is

    You are assuming a knowledge base that the assessment takers will not have. Even just indicating pre-assessment and post-assessment does not convey any real meaning. You'd need to explain that there are going to be two different forms. Why does that particular line need to be on the form at all if it's not meant for the assessment takers to interact with?

    I mean, usually that sort of internal information is put at the end of the form with a "For [office] use only; do not write below this line." And wouldn't need translated.

    Mostly, I wanted to include that line because
    a. I want to make sure the same information is on the english survey form and any other language survey form. It's a little thing, but I want to be sure everyone has the same information even if they're uncomfortable with the language.
    b. it also needs to be on the form so that we can enter the information into our systems.

    Both of these reasons can be worked around if I remove pre/post, so if it's an issue re: translation, it absolutely isn't a part of the survey as much as it's an ID marker for this batch of surveys, and we can remove it.
