Dissertation Research: Please take a few moments to complete my short survey.

Having just looked at the survey I just had the feeling that it is market research to test out the water for a new service. If it is for a dissertation then I apologise and university dissertations have certainly changed since I was a lad.

call me cynical but that survey looks more like market research than, research for educational purposes.

Phew , i thought the same & thought i was maybe being cynical aswell.. pleased it wasnt just me now ha

I do most surveys on here to help anyone i can , didnt do this one..,

Good Luck with what ever you are trying to achieve anyway ..
 
Not done. If you asked for market research I would do it, same as for a dissertation. If you ask for one disguised as the other then I am not going to help. If it is for studies then you should have the common decency to explain what the studies are, how the answers are to be used, what's the hypothesis you are testing etc.

Hi, this is a real University project. My dissertation question is: How might rapid realisation effect the retail experience? (In Golf).

The aim of this research is to retrieve a general reaction to certain proposed aspects of my design response.

Sorry if this has caused any confusion.
 
Will the cynics now be apologising?

I did have a get out clause in my original post. But part of me still struggles to see how asking a question about people watching you get custom fitted is something that university dissertations should be concerned with. Assuming this a proper university and not for the University of Life and the school of hard knocks.

But I will give them the benefit of the doubt and fill it in.

Did I miss the proof?! I didn't comment on this thread but neither did I complete the survey.

I was in higher education for a while, either this is marketing of the OP should learn to address the public properly if he wants to be successful.

Hello, my name is xxxxxxx. I am currently engaged in a diploma at the University of xxxxx. Please see my faculty profile here http/xxxxxxxxxx.

As part of my research....

This would have resulted in a larger take-up I'm sure. I don't feel anyone should apologise because the OP was sloppy in his address. If he would like to prove his university status (very easily done) I would be delighted to take the survey.

Not for the cynical amongst you.
After all how is the OP to prove his university status. He could claim to be at any university but we would be unable to substantiate that claim.

No; sometimes in life you just have to take people at face value and trust them!

In any event, if it were market research what difference would that make.

Change the title to "How might rapid realisation AFFECT the retail experience?" and you'll be better off. ;)
 
much appreciated.

Hello Frazer, is it possible that you could prove your university status please so that those who have filled out the survey in good faith know they did so for the right reasons? As stated above I am very happy to fill out the survey if that is the purpose.

Mickey the forum is used for many things. If someone wished to use it for market research then they should be up front and say it is just that. This will result in a different take up to a survey done in support of someones study. I very much hope the Op returns with a link to the university stating his attendance, as there certainly is one (at least in any University I have been involved with and that numbers dozens).

It would be lovely to go on a public internet forum and take everyone at face value but then I am just a lonely Russian girl hoping you are nice man.

Life is too short to worry so much about other people's motives.

And yes I am a nice man but you're OK I'm not in the market for a Russian girl, or so the missus tells me.
