Survey Results: Need A Huge Boost!

Randomly checking survey results today and . . . are you as worried as I am? (Of course you should be more worried since it's your grade at stake!)

Ideally each site should net 100 completed surveys . . . the most any one site has as of today is 10. And by early next week (Monday, which is three days away) we need to complete this project and move on to the next . . . so there's a lot of work to be done between now and then to boost the results.

What are you doing to get more students to respond to your survey?

Part of the lesson here is to demonstrate that it's not as easy as it seems it should be to motivate people to do something as simple as complete a survey. And yet, without gathering information, we're at a loss to make good decisions about products and services.

Another part of the lesson: Get creative! Your client, GUST Times, is depending on you to deliver results. What can you do, what will you do, to make sure you get the results the client requires?

I suggest you send more emails to lists of students . . . you should try different approaches to see if you can motivate them to go to the site and complete the survey. You can also ask students personally to go to the site by giving them the URL. Call students, text students, do whatever you must to boost your results.

Time is of essence . . . please do not wait until Sunday to see how things are going because that may be too late!

As you continue to market your survey, keep me informed by sending me email updates of your activities and progress.
