Senior Faculty Project Promote Survey

April 2007

Thank you for participating in a survey evaluating Project Promote as we conclude our first academic year of implementation.

The purpose of this survey is to ask about your experiences and opinions about the Project Promote web site.

[Part 1] Estimated time to complete: 5 minutes

1. Have you posted any answers to questions submitted to Project Promote?

Yes
No

2. If you have posted no or few answers to questions, what do you think are the most likely reasons for this?

(Choose as many answers as are applicable.)

I really didn't have any answers.
I was too busy.
I felt the answer/s already posted answered the question sufficiently and I didn't feel I had anything to add.
I was uncomfortable answering a question knowing that my identity as a senior facultyis always revealed.

Are there any other reasons?

3. What type of question have you focused on most when you enter the Question & Answer Center?

Unanswered questions
New questions (posted within past 3 weeks)
Questions in the spotlight (flagged by a member as deserving more consideration)
Previously answered questions
I gave equal focus to all

4. We allow early career faculty to hide part or all of their identity when posting a question.

Has this affected your ability to answer a question?

Yes
No

Has this affected your motivation to answer a question?

Yes
No
