I have enough responses. Thanks!

Hi, I am new. I had a look at the rules and I could not find anything to suggest I am breaking them in asking for this, so here goes..

I am doing a project for college (I am an adult but need to do this course to get to university!).

I need respondents to a survey. So far, I have 28, which is not enough and so far has only attracted a range of people with little knowledge. So to even it up, I hoped you guys on here could help me by filling it in. It's very short and simple.

If I have broken any rules, I am not doing so intentionally!

Thanks to those who took it seriously, and not so much to those who directly hostility towards me, or gave stupid answers - they have been removed. This is actually worth a large chunk of my grade, so I had hoped that this would be a serious forum with members who would understand that.

And no, I am not going to post this and stop using the forum. Well I wasn't planning to anyway, but I haven't had the warmest of welcomes. Until yesterday, I hadn't considered using this forum as anything I needed to know prior to this, I asked on Stack Overflow. In fact, I have spent a lot of time on Overclockers - just not the forum. Additionally, it is all quite new to me. I haven't yet had much to discuss!

Anyway, as for the survey, yes it is focused on the basics. It is a level 3 course so who we can reach out to and our knowledge is limited, or at least mine is.
 
Thank you guys. Much appreciated :)

The concern I had with 2A was more the limited word count. I felt it was easier to ask for a main concern, as opposed to many, so that I can simply comment on the most common concern.

In hindsight, I would have changed many things about the survey. One reason being that so many people have answered the wrong sections (I have to say, mainly from people who are not members of this forum!) which is going to make interpreting the information quite difficult!
 
Thanks for the responses guys - you've really helped me! I'm going to stop accepting responses for now, so I can try and get a range from people less technical.
 
Argh. I am accepting responses again. There are a lot of responses which I cannot use due to people filling in the form incorrectly :(. Anxious now!

And yes, I have had a browse. I often 'mooch' rather than chat! But I have been mooching, and even posted a couple of bits I think!

Not unless you consider responding to your own post a relevant contribution

I posed in the 'do you walk to work?' thread.. blimey I've only been registered two days and I'm actually at college right now doing this.

I guess it is part of the learning experience and maybe you'd design the form differently if doing something like this again




Why can't I chose both options? I've chosen to use dropbox, I also use what is pre-installed on my phone.


also

Q 10 asks if I pay for cloud storage then Q12 asks how much - so Q10 is now redundant... yet you leave the option there for people to contradict themselves

I would do it differently, yes. Just discussed it with my teacher as it goes.

I think I said before, but some options are limited due to the nature of what is expected. We have a small word count for this so I didn't want there to be too much to analyse. If you have chosen an application to use, that takes preference over using a pre-installed one - to compare those who seek one to those who do not, if that makes sense.

The question about payment is aimed at those who do pay, which is vital. Hence the option to select 'I only use free storage' :), but as you say, it'a all part of learning! :)

I think you missed the point - Q10 isn't vital, you have the answer to question 10 from the answer to Q12

You do, yes. IF you say 'yes', then I want it to lead to 'how much.' If you say 'no', then obviously you do not pay for it, but that's why there is an option for free storage - to kind of overcome the obvious.

As we say, it's all learning. This is the first project I have done. All this feedback is very helpful! :)

Completed but not sure what data you are hoping to take from it. Could do with a few more questions to break down why people object to the cost, some might not want to pay anything no matter what while others might be prepared to pay if the services / space offered was competitive.

Good luck with it all though :)

Thank you for your input :). Really, as I mentioned before, it's due to limitations on word counts, coupled with the lack of having researched anything before!

Perhaps I could have squeezed that question in, though. Definitely something worth mentioning in my appendices.
