Done. Any chance of seeing the stats (a graph, table or something) at some point?

I think the statement "the results will only be shown and used in reference to my disertation" would mean no!

...which would be on the internet.



As in: connected to the internet.

No, because you might not have a connection at home and could reasonably say you weren't connected to the internet. Perhaps a better question would be "Do you have an internet connection?"
 
Hey, i know the questions are a bit simple, and some are a bit ambiguous, but thats kinda the point, i cant be giving out too many options, otherwise i'll be at it forever :p

EDIT Also, if i try and refine things more now, it means i have to close the survey, which means people cant access it in the mean time :eek:

So thats out of the question at least for now :)

So what you are saying is that the topic of your dissertation is going to be a concoction of half-truths with no actual bearing on real-life what-so-ever?

I might as well fill the questionnaire in 100 times with bogus crap as that is all you are getting from it now.

You SHOULD fail for the questionnaire alone.

Pathetic. You'd have to scrap all your current data if you change the questions anyway. Either do it or don't.

my, what a pleasant fellow you are.

And also, you may have to realise the point of some questionnaires, is to hide the real questions that you want answers for, besides some less important ones. Thats what i've been told to do, and im doing it. There is no need to be so blatent in your feelings, if you dont have anything constructive to say please dont.

Just telling it like it is. Why should students be allowed to waste their time, and the education system's time (not to mention the money) with usless rubbish?

If a job is worth doing, its worth doing properly...

And, whats the point in boring, biased student bashing, as i said before, im asking for people's input, there is no need for rudeness.

Who's biased, I was a student once you know.

You ARE getting my input, you just don't want to hear it because it isn't praise.

Well, stop giving me a hard time, when im just trying to do my work. :)

I haven't asked for praise, people have criticised the questions before you. :confused: They just haven't been rude about it.
 
I'd just rather you did it properly, and understood why your current work isn't particularly useful. It will benefit you more than me I can assure you of that.

You just have to understand that the current questionnaire is particularly full of holes, not so great if its the basis of your dissertation.

Ok i understand your criticism, but it isnt the basis of my dissertation, its part of it, also, to say its full of holes and not useful to me, is a bit of a assumption on your part. You don't know the specifics of it for starters, and what particular statistics im trying to correlate and compare against previous years.

I appreciate your input. :)

I wasnt expecting anything less tbh, but i've been getting soem good results from this and other places. So thank you all for taking the time to fill it in regardless of whether you think its good or not.

Cheers :)

Last reply then i'll leave this thread be:

It doesn't matter about the basis/background or reasoning behind the questionnaire, it IS full of holes, be that down to missing answers, incomplete questions, or even questions that make no sense.

Ta.
 
Well, the results i have got so far make sense to me, and isnt that what matters?

Im not arguing that its the best questionnaire in the world, because its not, questionnaires arent my fortay, thats for sure!

But i ask the questions i want to know the answers to, and i have been getting useful feedback. So its been beneficial to me :)

Please take the time to fill in my questionnaire guys if you have not done so already, would be great! :)
 
Done it, I know how much you need people to do it. And I know you've probably tailored the questions to get the answers you want ;) My friends did anyway. Good luck with the writeup :)
