Will my supervisor or ethics board accept an AI follow-up?

You decide where follow-ups happen. Scale questions never get a follow-up, open questions get one neutral follow-up only where you allow it, and a one-page form has none. Every follow-up is saved with the response, so your methods section can state exactly what participants were asked. Approval still comes from your university.

Can I run the survey anonymously?

Yes. Anonymous mode stores no IP address, takes no name or email from the link, sends no continue-later email, and tells participants the survey is anonymous. You can add a participant information screen and a consent tick before the first question; anyone who declines leaves before answering anything.

Do respondents need an account?

No. They open the link or scan the QR code and answer on their phone or laptop, as a short chat or a one-page form, in their own language. You read every answer translated into yours.

Can I get the data into SPSS or R?

Yes. Choice and scale questions export as numeric codes with a codebook of variable names and value labels, plus an SPSS syntax file. A plain CSV is there for Excel, R or JASP.

How much does a student survey cost?

Joining the waitlist is free. After that there is a 7-day trial with 50 responses, then Starter at $19 a month for 500 responses, charts and themes. For a survey that runs a few weeks, that is usually one month.

Where are my participants' answers stored?

In the EU (Frankfurt) or the US, set from where you sign up. You set how long answers are kept, and you can delete one participant's answers if they withdraw from the study.

For thesis, dissertation and class surveys

Thesis survey answers you can quote in your results chapter.

Describe your questionnaire in one sentence. When someone writes “it's fine”, it asks one follow-up. Every scale gets a chart, and open answers come back in themes with quotes.

When do you decide to leave AI out of an assignment?

Depends really.

Follow-upThink of the last one you did without it. What made you decide?

It was a reflective essay and our module leader runs everything through a detector. Not worth the risk for 20% of the grade.

Where dissertation surveys stall.

23 responses, 150 needed
You've posted it in the course group chat, on r/SampleSize and SurveyCircle, and filled in strangers' surveys to earn yours. The counter barely moves.
“Fine.” “Not sure.” “N/A.”
The open questions come back one or two words long, and your supervisor says there's too little there to analyse.
Strongly agree, 112 times
Google Forms exports words and SPSS wants numbers. So you spend an evening recoding every scale by hand, then again when late responses arrive.

From one sentence to your results chapter.

01
Describe the survey in one sentence
“14 questions on how students use AI for coursework, mostly 5-point scales, two open ones.” You get the whole questionnaire with a consent screen first, and you can reword any question your supervisor flags.
02
Share one link or QR code
Post it in the group chat or put the QR code on a library poster. People answer on their phone without an account, as a short chat or a one-page form. A vague open answer gets one neutral follow-up.
03
Write up what came back
A chart for every scale question, the open answers grouped into themes with counts and quotes, and an SPSS or R file with a codebook for the statistics.

Open answers, grouped into themes.

Open answers are grouped into themes, each with how many people said it and the quote that shows it best. Sorting answers into your own codebook is coming at launch.

From ethics form to SPSS.

Consent screen and anonymous mode: Participant information and a consent tick before question one. Anonymous mode stores no IP address, takes no name or email from the link, and tells participants the survey is anonymous.
SPSS and R export with a codebook: Scales come out as numbers, with variable names, value labels and an SPSS syntax file. Strongly agree is already a 5 when you open it.
Classic mode for validated scales: Run the survey as a one-page form and published scale wording stays exact. In a chat, scale questions never get a follow-up.
A target and a close date: Set 150 responses and a close date, and the survey closes when it gets there.
Completion codes for survey swaps: End on a completion code or a redirect link, so SurveyCircle and SurveySwap credit the people who answered yours.
QR code on a lecture slide: Turn on shared-device mode and a whole seminar group can scan and answer at once on the same campus Wi-Fi.

Fair questions.
