Create a Survey and pass parameter to prepopulate a field?

We offer training classes and we want to offer surveys with Sharepoint web
that we have.

Though we don't want to have to have the user type in some of the info we
need. We want to send them a link that has some of that info in it already.

So it would be cool if I could use the same survey, buy pass it the class
ID, Something like this.
http://surveyit.ourdomain.com/Lists/class1/NewForm.aspx?classID=1234

Is there a way I can take that value passed in from the URL and prepopulate
one of the items on the Survey?

Is there a way I can use a Calculated text field to get data from the URL or
DB?

I'm open to other suggestions too...

Thanks,
Scott<-
