My graduate thesis-Research Survey?

Hey guys, How are you all doing?





I am a 2nd year graduate student majoring in Public Administration.





I would appreciate it so much if any of you will just take 5 to 7 minutes to complete my online survey. If you know anyone else who is interested, please tell them about this survey too. (help a student out please)





My survey is about racial disparities in the criminal justice system, one’s attitude toward the perception of minorities.





Thank you in advance

My graduate thesis-Research Survey?
You got it! In some cultures, one receives blessings for assisting students. I like that idea! Good luck!





I just took the survey, and here is my feedback: I did not answer any questions that were poorly worded or used words inaccurately. (You confused 'effect' with 'affect.")





Suddenly, a number of questions use the first person pronoun and are written as though I am a Black American, when I have already identified myself as white. Therefore, I could not answer those questions and wondered, "Why the change midstream?" It makes no sense.





I know you are young, but your age categories end at 50, and the rest of us must choose "Other." That felt disrespectful. Life doesn't end at 50. You'll know that when you get there, but for now, trust me on this, OK?

Reply:I'm sorry; I tried taking your survey, but it's so poorly worded that I wasn't even sure what it's asking. You also don't have an age category for my age group (I'm 52). I don't know who "your" is in the questions after the initial demographic information; I think you need to reword them to say something like "I think that a defendant..." rather than "your..." - at least I think that's what you're after, but I honestly can't be sure.





You need to do some serious work on your survey questions to get accurate results.





Best of luck. You're welcome to contact me if you get the document fixed; I'll be happy to take it.
