Week 8 Assignment

Posted on 10:46 AM, under

Hello again.  Today I will be taking on another assignment:
1. Complete the questionnaire found at the following link: http://www.westga.edu/~cbrown/Rsh/Bad_Quest

2. In your blog, discuss at least three things that are wrong with the questionnaire. Note: I'm looking for structural errors such as problems with question wording, directions, scales, etc. rather than question relevance.
The first thing I noticed wrong was that the first question uses "you" while two and three use "I" and "my" respectively.  Also, the format of question three is a little confusing to me... how exactly should I go about giving my answer?  Question five assumes you do not like your car since there is no "not applicable" option.  Lastly, question eight does not provide an other option for majors that do not fit in the listed options (like mine).  Oh, and there is also the problem of an online survey that cannot be answered online (a flat web page).

Now time to go look at some classmates' posts and give a litte feedback.

    Hi Gene...The format of question three was very confusing...I noticed that question five didn't have an other "option".You notice that it didn't have an answer choice for people that like everything about theie car. I also noticed that question 8 didn't have my major as an answer choice either.

    Hey! I did not notice the different verbiage but now that you mention it it is very apparent. The questionnaire lasts consistency in so many ways with no clear direction! Great Post and i really like your site!

    Whats up Gene? I do agree that question 3 was really confusing. I didn't notice question 5 was incorrect until you brought up in this blog...very interesting. Overall, this questionnaire was difficult to understand and I'm not 100 percent sure but Im quite positive there was something wrong with all 8 questions.

    hi i think you are very right about question 5 i like my car and that puts me out of the question. You pretty much said some of the basic things i touched on in my blog.

    Some of the things that you posted in your blog are the same as how I feel. The questions were confusing on how to answer them. I also think that many of the questions assumed some things such as someone having a job or being a business major.
