I have begun work on my thesis. However, before I get too far into writing it, I was wondering if you all could fill out a questionnaire. I promise that no one's names will be used and that none of the information will be further posted. Also, no names will be used in my thesis, just situations.
Please screen all replies. Also, I would appreciate honesty in all answers. If I have further questions, I will comment to your reply. If you choose not to respond, I understand.
Edit: Questions are seemingly a work in progress. I have updated them, but if you have already responded, you don't have to respond again unless you wish to clarify.
