Hi Becky. The problem was not asking the questions. The problem was that you did not start off by explaining what the questions are for and an explanation of how they would be used. Unrelated messages on this list are usually an offspring of a costume discussion. I dont think Ann had any problem with the survey either, except for the fact that it appeared without explanation and purpose and totally unrelated to the discussions. When you do surveys like this, you really need to write a synopsis of "what is the purpose with this survey" " How will the information be used" and "In what context will the information be used". Sorry to be a little pedantic here, but I have had statistics at college and my professor was very strict with the "design" of the inquiry. Tania

I met 5 last night at orientation. The others that could not be there can review the taped session at the HACC library here is Harrisburg area. I received my syllabus yesterday and within it's lists is the assignment of this survey. TO ask a question that can be answered with yes or not, then other related information to use as graphed or plotted points to find certain information that will lead to the locabulary words of the textbook. It is to teach us how to apply some of this new information as well as show us why it is used. I'm sorry if such a online discussion question offends you. I thought the formum would be an open discussion area since I've seen unrelated messages and topics before this. Reply only if you wish to. Nothing is required, just volunteer. All information is confidential and names are not important for the plotting of this data gathering assignment. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 8:34 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Survey questions > > In a message dated 5/26/2006 8:27:03 P.M.
