Google form due to info security concerns

Important additional announcement:
Even if you have previously submitted via email, pls take a few seconds to also fill in the google form for your group. This will help keep our records up to date and avoid controversy later.

Should you, for any reason refuse to use the google form, then also, write in the form that you won't use it for submission and why you won't do so.


I have tested the google form myself. It is fairly secure. I don't expect janta to have major concerns on that front.

Class,

Have received concerns galore that since the google doc is open access, other groups can (and will) access websurveys and perhaps steal ideas.

Good point and should have thought about that.

But that’s the beauty of seeking feedback. One can't possibly think up all the scenarios in advance (Murphy's law and all that) but we come to know in sufficient time to make amends.

Have created a google form to which I alone shall have read access. That should alleviate security concerns, I think. Tks to Sarvagya Sharma for this suggestion.

Pls send in your responses on this one at this URL:

Hope that helps. If you are completely unable to access the form, detect any other problems with it etc, let me know. You can then email your answers to your respective Academic Associates with information on the following questions:

1. Total # Questions (including all possible SKIP paths) - add up all the questions that are there in the survey to give an idea of overall survey length.

2. Pls list any exploratory research efforts made prior to questionnaire design. Any secondary research on the web, (informal) interviews with people in the market for a car etc should be mentioned here.

3. Approx time in minutes it will take for a respondent to complete the longest string of questions possible.

Pls be candid in providing the additional info. Don't bother with what others might have written. The quality of the questionnaire and websurvey is all that will be graded.
