Requirment
Option 3 — deploy a survey to collect data (25 marks)
Note that the project is marked out of 200. It means you could potentially earn 15 extra marks with 215 out of 200 for your project. The extra marks will go towards your overall grade.
You must include:
• Explanation of how the data collected can help you solve the main problem
• A table of your dataset. If you have more than 50 rows of data, you only need to include
the first 50 rows. If you have more than 10 attributes, you only need to include the 10
most relevant attributes. All content must be legible.
• Your recruitment message — quality of your message matters
• The consent form
• Screenshots of the whole survey. We need to see what the participants see. This will be
marked based on the quality of your survey.
• Descriptions of your target participants
Important: If you deploy a survey, you must follow the points below. All the points are parts of the ethics protocol; therefore, must be followed. If any of the points below are not followed, we will NOT mark this section of your project (Section B) and you will NOT receive any marks for this section.
1. Use Qualtrics as the survey tool.
2. Use a consent form. You can download the template of the form on D2L. You will need
to customize it with your information (the highlighted parts in the template should be
customized). Do not modify the rest of the consent form.
3. Your recruitment message should contain a link to the consent form or include the form
in the recruitment message.
4. If the participant consent to participate in the survey, they can click a link in the consent form which directs them to the actual survey; otherwise, directs them to somewhere else.
5. You will not explicitly be collecting identifying information during the surveys; you will not be collecting individual names or contact information.
6. You must store survey data on password-protected drives.
7. You must delete the survey data after the grade appeal deadline has passed.
8. You must not share the survey data with anyone other than your group members, TAs,
and instructor.
Make sure you use your dataset ethically and do not violate any copyright laws.
