Exercise Survey - Your Input Requested

KenElPescadoPelado

Hi Roosters! I've been a crummy contributor lately. Well, I always was, but with less frequency and volume lately. Maybe that's appreciated?

Anyways, I'm back in school and working on my MBA. Doing a little data collection for a statistics course, and I immediately thought it would be great to test some very basic theories about exercise practice. That's where you come in! If you could please help my team and I by filling in this brief survey, we would be tremendously grateful.

I'll share some results here once we've completed the project. Would also be happy to take any comments about the survey questions themselves. Many thanks to @A_drizzle and @rangamel for the help they've already provided in the early stages of putting this together!

Says I need permission to fill out the form?

KenElPescadoPelado

Hmm, that shouldn't be...lemme take a look.

Should be good now, @Matt

You need to fix the inputs for 5k and 10k (doubt anyone is sub 1hr for a half marathon) to account for minutes and seconds, or inform the survey taker input at hrs:min only if their times are longer than 24 minutes. The form wouldnt accept my 10k time as min:sec since there aren't that many hours in a typical day.

I just entered 00:## for my 10k time. (Where ## is a real number that I will not share here because it's embarrassing.)

Thank you, I may just make it free text but I'm glad we are getting these bugs figured out now.

Why not have 3 drop downs number boxes?

I don't think Google Forms gives that as an option, unfortunately.

I've changed those fields to free text. No need for anybody to repeat the survey, but it should be more user-friendly now for anyone who hadn't done it yet.

One other comment: Dude, statistics in an MBA program? Is it at least a subsection of marketing or something? MBAs are supposed to be fluff, mostly just networking at the bar and hitting on CxOs.

KenElPescadoPelado

Yeah @KHilgendorf, and I think this won't be the last of it. I'm doing a business analytics specialization. Next Feb is when the hurt really begins.

KHilgendorf

That's on you, then. Might as well scrap the MBA and go for a PhD at that point. The you get paid to learn a bunch of shit you'll never use.

Done, I'll wipe out @Craig_D 's responses and pull the averages back down!
