Help with my Master's Thesis

What specifically do you find offensive? I don't know if I'd classify it as "offensive" but you failed to use radio buttons in your survey. As it is the respondent can select all 5 responses to each question, not just a single response, which makes your results even more dubious. So: Is simple software ignorance offensive? |

Yeah, I noticed that too, but in his defense no paper survey ever prevented the user from selecting all 5 responses. Presumably the number crunching software will throw out these responses, just like the old fashioned scantrons did. So who was your favorite athlete? I picked Dick Buttkiss. //Walt |

genedipaula1 wrote: What specifically do you find offensive? OK, I did the survey. It isn't offensive, it's just dumb. I don't know if I'd classify it as "offensive" but you failed to use radio buttons in your survey. As it is the respondent can select all 5 responses to each question, not just a single response, which makes your results even more dubious. So: Is simple software ignorance offensive? Not the only problem. What if your favorite athlete isn't part of a team and if it's only a theoretical favorite because you don't EVER watch sporting activities? Well, maybe watching 'On Any Sunday' and 'Dust to Glory' every once in a while... -- Cheers, Bev ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Just as you cannot explain snow to a summer insect, so also you cannot explain ski resorts to someone who walks uphill willingly. --ErikL |
