Survey Blog Posting - Deadline: 12/5 1 pm

Post your opinion on the appropriateness of the use of the Tablet PC in the survey project in the blog http://pacetablet.blogspot.com/ (300 words). Do not post your answer as a reply but as a real posting with your first names, the 2 first letters of your last names and the word "survey" as the title.

In particular you will answer the following questions:
  • Do you think that it is different to design/write a survey to be administered using the tablet PC rather than on paper - one paper survey per person or one paper survey for all the surveyed people?
  • Did you use the format of the questions (check boxes, radio buttons...) that were provided in the survey project statement ? Why?
  • Describe how you administered the survey to your classmates during class time. Do you think that it is more comfortable to administer a survey using the tablet PC or paper?
  • What are the advantages of the use of the tablet PC in designing, administering and summarizing the results of a survey?
  • What is your perception of the appropriateness of the use of the tablet PC to administer surveys to facilitate the analysis of the survey?
  • You probably were already surveyed on the street in New York City. Do you think that the tablet PC would a useful tool particularly for administering surveys on the street?
