Analysis of the results from the survey:

A quick entry to let you know that I am still alive... I have almost finished to run my practical exam, and I seem to have a bit more time to work at the course again.

Following Bronwyn suggestion, I have used Survey Monkey to create my survey. It is a great tool to create a survey easily. However, I have not in the past used this information gathering method and the learning curve was steep.

I was amazed at the amount of effort you have to deploy to get just a few people to answer a short survey.

There are several possible formats in which I could download the survey. The full Excel or CSV files were not very user friendly to analyse the data. All the questions were sorted per user horizontally. This did not make it for easy interpretation of the results. My primary source of information was therefore the web interface results page. I am sometimes using the Excel file to link an open answer with the answer to a previous question.


The result should hopefully be available before the week-end.
