Research Methods Class Survey_2020

Hello Class,

I am your professor for the Aalto University - Mikkeli BScBA Research Methods in Business course.

I have a few questions for you that will make our research methods class more interesting and participative. 

Please complete this survey on or before the first day of class.

-Suzanne Altobello  (altobello.research@gmail.com)

1. Student information:

2. In which CITY AND TIME ZONE will you be living in during the course?

(I live in Wilmington, North Carolina, and I am on Eastern Time US (New York time), which is 7 hours BEHIND Finland time for the duration of the course.)

3. What is your nationality? 

4. What is your gender? 

5. We will be meeting via Zoom every weekday (Monday through Friday) beginning at 3pm (15h00) FINLAND TIME for the duration of the course.

During these Live sessions, we will have lectures, discussion sharing of readings/assignments, group activities (using Zoom breakout rooms), and online quizzes or assignments to complete as attendance requirements. 

Do you have access to a computer with a webcam for our class sessions?

6. This course will require you to open up datafiles, conduct statistical tests, and interpret output using a statistical program called SPSS.

Aalto students can download SPSS to their computers (using PC or MAC) from download.aalto.fi OR if you are local to Mikkeli, (I believe) you will be able to access the computer lab. 

Please read the following options in full and choose which best describes your SPSS situation:

7. You will be working in groups on a survey project (similar to this survey!) for your final project.
