Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Doing a quick survey for part of my project in HCI(Human-Computer Interaction) and its based on writing skills and writing resources. It is in two part because of the limitation this survey site I am using. Survey's should take about 5-10 minutes tops, answer as truthfully as possible for accurate results.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/The goal of these two surveys is to generate a basic demographic of users from high school to retiree's to help generate a typical user for m project. The more people who fill this out the better the results. Of course, try to answer them honestly as I want to get as accurate as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 I checked the first link and tool the survey. I hope it was the only link for entire survey. Cause another link is not working with me. It gives me same page when i completed the first links survey. I tried my best to give honest answer to your survey. Only question i had when answering your survey was this : "Do you know the different Types of research papers ie. MLA, APA, Chicago?" I found it no general question as it was more on demographic so answered appropriately. You're doing this project for your university degree ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Ug that second link has been giving me trouble all day, I changed some settings mahesh so when you get a chance check it out and see if it works. Yep its part of my BA in Managing Information Systems and work is no joke either as each week I am reading nearly 200 pages of text, plus assignments and forum posting, it is insane.

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Completed the survey. Yeah MIS gives headache. I had that subject during my ECE engineering. MIS/IIS takes most of your time, requires lot of reading. Good luck with studies. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Done.Just about everything you asked in the first survey was covered by my English courses in high school and in college English courses. Guys, +1 on helping SM out. The survey literally takes less than 3 minutes if English is your primary language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks, part of the project is to identify or define typic or atypical users and so with this survey it will help me get a good idea what they will be. Such as age, gender, writing skill, education level and although I should have put it in the survey as well, if you are employed or not. Of course, I was in such a rush to produce this survey and get as many people as possible that I skipped a few questions. To give an idea what I am referring I show you the information based on what I have gotten, although a few of things were not added on the survey though. Typical User Age: 13-70 Gender: Male/Female Physical Abilities: Can use their hands and eyes Cognitive abilities: can think, interpret and understand the information they are writing about Education: at least a high school student and above Training: Taught how to write in English, understand how to write essays or research papers Language Skills: Recognize and understand the English writing structure Vocabulary: Good use of vocabulary Job Experience: Working or currently a student Job Level: Various positions Wage: Various Interaction with people: sociable, good communication skills Tools: computers, writing utensils, paper, word processing software, type write, school resources, teachers, tutors Organizations: various Atypical Age: Younger than 13, older then 70 Physical Abilities: Unable to use hands, cannot see Cognitive abilities: Dyslexic, ADD, ADHD, slow learners, never graduated school, unable to read or write. Education: private school, home school, never went to school, learning to write Training: little to no training in writing or reading Language Skills: English as a second language Vocabulary: Good use of vocabulary Job Experience: Not working, retired, no experience, high executive Job Level: Executive (CEO, President etc) Wage: various Interaction with people: non-social, poor communication skills Tools: no computer access, cannot afford word processing software, can?t use tutoring services Organizations - various You can say this aspect of the project is to figure out how to develop it more based on information for the atypical and thus make it a stronger product.
