Your participation requested for an academic survey

[osq_project]

Dear forum users,

We are doing an academic research project on online service quality. We would be grateful if you could spare 3-5 minutes and complete our online questionnaire. The link for the questionnaire is provided below.

http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/osq/

Please note that this questionnaire asks for no personal information.

P.S. ABCMan gave me permission to post this message.

--------------------------------------

EDIT:

We're doing a follow-up survey to finish this doctoral research. It has been decided by the faculty administration that one of the repsondents will win a Free 6GB iPod Mini (including free shipping) for her/his participation - this is open to everyone worldwide.

There are no open-ended questions in this questionnaire so it can be completed by only clicks.

There are two questionnaires: one about Hotmail, the other about Yahoo! Mail. These two websites were chosen because they are popular sites but this research is purely academic so data or results will not be shared with Microsoft Corporation or Yahoo! Inc.

Please enter your email only if you want to take part in the free iPod draw. Collected emails will not be used for any other purpose. When data collection finishes, the winner will be determined and contacted by email.

You can use the email on questionnaire pages if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time and participation.

thats why he went about it the correct way and asked permission to post it and explained what it was all about in private, that way he wasnt flamed or moved to the hos and hopefully people will help him out.

i realise its unusual as a first post and that normaly something like this would only be accepted from a longstanding member but because of the way he went about it i was happy to make an exception in this case, hopfully he'll like it here and might stick around anyway, lets face it we have a lot of uni people who are df members

[ShadowMoses]

I know, wasn't making a dig, was just saying if he spoke to you lot correctly and if he hadn't mentioned it some of the other members may have flamed him anyway!

Sorry if that seemed off, wasn't meant to be in the slightest!

Thank you everyone. I'm almost finished with my data collection but I still need about 100 more participants to achieve my target sample size.

I hope there are a few other people who wouldn't mind participating.
