Texas Tech University Libraries - Course Materials |
Please share your thoughts in our research project.
What is this project studying?
The objective of the study is to gather professor's, instructor's, staff and student feedback about their use of resources in courses, the means of accessing them, and their use of our Library course reserves. Researchers will use the data provided from the survey to recommend improved ways to deliver course materials.
What would I do if I participate?
You will be asked to complete a survey. All questions are optional. Most questions are multiple choice with the option to expand on your answer, if you wish.
Can I quit if I become uncomfortable?
Yes, absolutely. Your participation is completely voluntary. The researchers and the Institutional Review Board have reviewed the questions and think you can answer them comfortably. You may elect not to answer any questions you do not feel comfortable answering. You can also stop answering questions at any time. You are free to leave any time you wish. However, we do appreciate any help you are able to provide.
How long will participation take?
The survey will take about 3-5 minutes to complete.
How are you protecting privacy?
We will not ask for any information that identifies you. Data will only ever be reported in the aggregate.
How will I benefit from participating?
There are no direct benefits to participants.
