[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 5911912, member: 971"] Excellent post by [USER=220]@foxbox[/USER] sums up my thoughts too. I do start to take part in a lot of surveys, but sometimes give up, often with feedback as to why. There should be a proper academic introduction and details of the Uni/college etc that is being attended. Typos and poor grammar are distinctly off putting, as are badly structured or leading questions. Lack of an ' additional information' or feedback option because sometimes poorly thought out questions can lead to conflicting answers and this needs explaining. Broken links or questions that don't 'work' are a complete waste of time and show the student hasn't bothered to test it through. A cut-off date for replies is also useful. The forum post or title should make it clear who the survey is to include - I spent ages waiting for a link to a survey about 'Women in Agriculture' (or similar) to open, only to find that it was only for women in Scotland, which doesn't apply to me, it was not mentioned until the survey was open. Feedback to the forum essential - we all like to learn something! Surveys with only tiny or barely detectable differences in questions are very repetitive and boring to complete and I usually abandon - there was one of those recently and I can't even remember what it was about despite completing about 4 pages before giving it up as a bad job.
