Seeing as I had no desire to go anywhere near second life again, I created a survey about religious tattoos on the clark survey forum which benefitted this classes, as well as my social research processes class. The survey questions had already been developed, but I discussed it with my group and we decided to post in online, and then make a facebook event telling people how to take the survey, in the hopes that we would receive more response than we would if we handed it out. All three of us invited all of our facebook friends and asked the people we invited to do the same, though most of them did not. Of the thousand our so people invited to the event, 107 responded that they were "attending" (which actually didnt really mean anything), and 172 people decided to take the survey, which only applied to people between the ages of 17 and 23 with tattoos anyway. I quickly learned that the clark survey website was not very user friendly, especially for people like me who need step-by-step instructions. The website also made it so that you could post instructions, and I could not figure out how to make a free response sections for certain questions without making the free response a separate question. In order to fix this, I posted the instructions on the facebook event page, but I had to get rid of the free response sections of certain questions that we meant for expansion on some of the multiple choice questions.
It ended up taking about an hour, but probably would have taken much less time for someone who had a better idea about what they were doing. I'm also not sure that I would say that I like what I've made, I do not dislike it, but it is kind of the bare minimum because the website is not very complex.
Here is the survey: http://surveys.clarku.edu/Survey.aspx?s=4bf72b0e5a934066a45d2499c016c36e
