If this survey had been written by one of my students, I would have been very impressed. it wasn’t, but rather written by a native English speaker living in the US and completing her masters Degree. This survey is part of her degree work.
I should admit that my own blog is full of little errors and I even spent a little time before writing this post in making corrections. Still, there is nothing formal about this blog.
I should also admit that I wouldn’t have noticed or picked on it if it weren’t written about religion.
Alright, enough with the disclosures. Here are the three questions that bothered me (the most). I copied and pasted them and lost a lot of the formatting. I am unable to take the survey again so I cannot return for a screen shot.
6. Please select if your degree is in one of these medical-related areas:

Question 6 asks me to select one of the choices IF I am involved in medical-related areas. The survey then refused to go on to the next page unless I selected one of the choices. The question is clearly poorly written.
The next two questions, #s 14 & 15, are should questions which surely require a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer. I could agree that it is a good question, but not respond to the question itself in terms of agreement. What a mess.
