Phase I submissions

Hi all,

The phase I deadline is midnight (or 11.59 pm) of wednesday 27-oct. It was originally intended to be 25-oct but group formation delays have pushed it slightly further up.


There are 2 deliverables in phase I. A working link of your websurvey must be entered into this google form:



link



Immediately after, send an email to your respective AA with a word doc soft copy of your questionnaire that should also have the URL on it somewhere.

Any doubts, queries, clarifications etc, pls use the comments section of this thread or email me.

  1. Hi,

    When I try to create a survey question (in SurveyMonkey) with conditional logic in it, I get this message:

    PRO FEATURE: Skip logic lets you redirect people to another page in your survey based on a response to a specific question. To enable logic editing, upgrade to a professional subscription.

    Also, as I get it SurveyMonkey allows a maximum of 10 questions/survey from a free account.

    Is anybody else facing a similar issues/I am missing something here?

    Regards,
    Kapila

  2. Dear Prof

    As I am designing the questionaire, I am getting this feeling that most of the useful information is very intrusive in nature.
    Despite the best efforts to moderate the question for specificity of the financial information sought, the respondents will not reveal true details.
    In the real world, are the surveys attempting to gauge a person's worth or investment patterns administered and if so, are they able to reveal the correct picture?

  3. Hi Kapila,

    Kindly register for a free account on esurveyspro.com which enables SKIP logic but restricts the # times you can administer the survey.

    The final survey will be done using the LRC's pro account on surveymonkey.

    Hope that clarifies.

  4. Hi Anon (Kindly ID yourself next time on),

    Good point.

    Respondents may be unable or unwilling to answer certain questions.

    In such cases, we tone down the info content of the questions. For example, instead of asking folks to reveal their household incomes, we ask merely that they pick this off a list of ranges.

    Similarly, IMO, since we are interested in the distribution of preferences across asset classes, a rough, relative measure of such allocation might suffice. E.g., "Out of 100% that I put into longterm savings and investments, I'd ideally go with 15% in equities, 15% in a private provident fund, 40% EMI on house loans, and the rest in bank FDs".

    IMHO, respondents will hopefully give a true picture, on average, of such allocations. Down the line somewhere, one might casually inquire into current income p.m. range and % of that put into longterm savings.

    Again, this is entirely my static view and you needn't follow it 100%. Based on your evolving plan, go with what you think is best for phase I.

    Hope that helped.

  5. I think the issues last year's class faced would be hajaar relevant and trouble-saving for your class too. I'm randomly linking some issues we found last year, but feel free to search through the archives for Oct 2009 in case you think that could be useful.

  6. Hi Sir,
    Esurveypro.com also does not permit the creation of skip logic without a corporate account.

    Has anyone found a loophole in Esurveypro / Surveymonkey to allow the coding of such questions with just the free service ?

Constructive feedback appreciated. Please try to be civil, as far as feasible. Thanks.
