Dissertation survey

This anonymous survey is part of a dissertation. It takes about five minutes, and you can stop at any time.

What the template contains

  • Consent Checkboxes · Required

    Required, first: the respondent agrees to take part and knows what the answers are for.

  • Your age Radio buttons · Required

    Required: ranges rather than an exact age, to stay anonymous and make cross-tabulation easier.

  • Your situation Radio buttons · Required

    Required: the most common profile variable. Adapt the options to your population.

  • How often do you use this kind of service? Radio buttons · Required

    Required: a behaviour question, to replace with one about your topic.

  • This service makes my daily life easier. Radio buttons · Required

    Required: a statement and four levels, with no neutral point, so respondents have to take a side.

  • What matters most to you? Checkboxes

    Several boxes allowed: the factors that matter, with "Other" for what you did not foresee.

  • Anything you would like to add? Long text

    Optional: an open question at the end, often rich for qualitative analysis.

Every field can be renamed, moved, removed or made optional in the editor, and you can add your own.

From research question to questions

Start from your hypotheses: each question should help test one. Keep profile questions short, one idea per question, and duplicate the agreement question for each statement you want to test.

With conditional logic, show a question only to the people it concerns, such as usage details to those who use the service. Test the survey on two or three people before sharing it.

Share and analyse

Share the link in your class groups, on social media or by email, and put up the QR code where your population is. People answer from their phone, with no account.

Export the responses to CSV to work on them in a spreadsheet, R or SPSS: one row per respondent, one column per question. Responses are unlimited, even on the Free plan, so a large sample fits.

Personal data: the right habits

  • The template asks for no name and no email, and AwesomeFor.ms stores no IP address and no identifier with the response: only the date and time are kept.
  • Avoid questions about health or political and religious opinions: these are sensitive data, closely regulated by the GDPR. To survey minors, get their parents' consent.
  • Delete the form and its responses once the dissertation is defended. Responses are hosted in France, with OVHcloud.

FAQ

Questions about this template

Is the survey really anonymous?

Yes, as long as you do not ask for an identity: only the date and time of each response are stored. Beware of very precise combinations (age, programme, town) in a small group: they are sometimes enough to recognise someone.

How do I stop someone answering twice?

An anonymous survey cannot check that. Across a sample of several dozen responses, a few duplicates weigh little; mention it in your methodology section.

Is the template free?

Yes. It only uses fields available on the Free plan, and every question can be edited, moved or deleted.
