Our Survey Topics

Below are our survey topics for test-taking of the surveys on Wednesday, Feb. 11th.

INSTRUCTIONS for in-class activity on Wed., Feb. 11th:

We are taking each other's surveys, to make sure everything works!!!

Before you start, open the SURVEY GRADING RUBRIC posted on livetext in the "evaluation" section. Fill it in, and attach it to the comment emails to your peers. You will assign the authors of the surveys you are taking a final grade for their surveys.

1) Each student has to test-take the three surveys following his or her name on the list below. The last student on the list skips to the first three names from the list! (If you don't finish in class, test-take them from home. Deadline for test-taking and comment emails to peers and me is Wednesday, Feb. 11th, at midnight, because the survey authors need at least one day to fix their surveys which are due Friday, Feb. 13th.)

2) When you test-take your peers' surveys, take a piece of paper and write comments on it (which bullets make no sense, which "default section" headline was not changed to a meaningful title, which header was not filled in completely with research topic and deadline, which words were misspelled, which question should be re-formulated, which options need additions, whether it was customer-friendly, etc.), and then email these comments to the author of the survey you took. You all know each other's email addresses ;-)

3) Email your three "comment emails" to me as cc, for credit!

4) DEADLINE for our audiences to take the survey is Monday, Feb. 23rd, by 10:00 a.m. Type this into your header.

5) As soon as you have received your 3 peer-feedback emails with the comments, go ahead and repair your survey accordingly! The repaired survey version is due on Friday, Feb. 13th, for grading by me. EMAIL me the link of your final (repaired) survey. CAREFUL: it is NOT the link you see in the "menu list" on your screen (this one leads only to the surveymonkey.com login page). Here is the path how to create the link:

go to "My Survey" --> go to "Collect" --> put the bullet in "Create a link to send in your own email message or to place on a webpage --> click on "Next Step" --> copy the URL you see under "Sending Survey Link in an Email" --> put this URL in an email you send to me on Friday, Feb. 13th, by class time!

If you want to see how I am grading the surveys, go to "Evaluations" in our livetext profile, and look at the "Survey Grading Rubric."

6) EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:
If you've missed more than three classes (= allowed sick days) unexcused in the past, you can make up for ONE day by taking THREE extra surveys (from home, since there won't be enough time in class). Deadline for taking them is tonight, Wednesday 10th, at midnight, too. Pick ANY surveys you would like to take. You need to send your three peers the comment email with your suggestions and the grading rubric, and EMAIL ME AS cc, writing in the header "make-up for missed day," including the date for the missed day.

You can make up as many missed blog comments as you want by taking an additional survey for each! Proceed as above (email me the grading rubrics and comments, and say for which blog topic you're making up)!!!
