Assignment 6 questions

Do you think the results are 100% accurate? Why or why not?

Yes, I think the results are accurate because they show exactly what the person chose. It may not be the correct answer, but that is what the person doing the survey chose.

 

How much of an impact do you think the wording of the questions has on the answers you received?

I think that if it has a tricky wording, people will most likely fall for the trick. That is why we need to read carefully the instructions given to us to be able to answer correctly the question. A careless mistake can ruin your whole response.

 

Did you get the results you expected from your online polls? Why?

On most of them I did. On one of the polls, I thought I would get the same results form everyone, but instead I received a great variety of answers. Some fell for the trick of one of the wordy questions.

 

If you wanted to do an online poll with the students of Tecnologico de Monterrey asking them how much time and effort they spent doing homework this year, what are the steps you would take to complete that online poll?

I would construct a poll of multiple choice questions asking them about how many questions they would dedicate for each class after school. I would also do a construct an open answer poll where students would put their opinion on homework and what teachers and staff can do to give different types of polls.

 

Do you think online polling could help the administration of Tec de Monterrey find out more about their students? Or do you think that the results would not be accurate? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe online polls are a good method for the administration to learn about their students. This way they could find out how they could better the school and the activities that are offered. They can learn more about their students to see what they like or not and do activities based on that.

 

How do you think the results of your polls would be different if you asked your classmates the questions in person?

I think they wouldn't answer honestly because they would have to be telling the truth in front of everyone. If people had to answer anonymously, then more than likely they would answer honestly without worrying what others think of their answers.

In what ways do you think online polling using Google Spreadsheets can be improved? Or was it easier to create an online poll than you originally thought? Explain.
I had never created a poll before but it was very easy. From my experience, I don't think there's anything for Google Spreadsheets to improve.
