Today, the Finatic (re)learned just how easy it is to create a survey using surveymonkey. The Finatic is trying to create a survey in order to assist the Finatic's mentor with program and training evaluation. The Finatic last created and administered a survey in the Finatic's last year as an undergrad. The survey then was very small and the Finatic's team used a mix of internet surveying and paper surveys. It was a mess, even though the team only used a simple 5 point rating scale. In the end, the Finatic's team used the data when it presented the idea of a Leadership Studies Academy to professors and administrators at SJSU.
Another survey the Finatic got to administer was regarding cultural attitudes toward sexual education. The Finatic worked with a professor whose emphasis was in sex and gender studies. In that project, the team administered a questionnaire and scantrons to several classes worth of upper-division Human Sexuality students. That survey taught the Finatic basic statistics as well as how to use SPSS (Statistical Program for Social Scientists). The professor ended up using some of the data in a book comparing different countries and cultures.
The Finatic really likes surveymonkey because it will do all the analysis that SPSS and undergraduates desperate for a grade would, and it makes it very easy to send the survey out to lots of people for free or cheap.
In addition to creating a survey, the Finatic has taken in a boarder. The Finatic is sometimes a dog-sitter (and liable to squash them if that were taken literally) and is currently taking care of a very sweet, very soft, and very yappy little dog. When he is quiet he is very lovable, but right now he misses his dog mom. Not even his teddy bear can cheer him up right now.
