How do you feel about your car? Other cars? Luxury cars?

Hi,
I am in grad school and am working on an assignment about cars. My
group and I are conducting some research, and would love input from
everyone!
We have designed a survey to gather information. It is not a quick
survey, but it will not take too long either
Please help us with our research!!

Check out the survey at:

Thanks!
Becca

 

Here's my answer: I like my car. Please enter in on your survey
form and feel free to fill in any other blanks.

 

Research is not opinions of others, it's original ideas.

 

For the orginal poster:
What school ? What course ? What question is the survey trying to find
an answer to? Are you really a grad student, or affiliated with
GM/Cadillac in some way? Maybe playing the role of Cadillac marketer in
a group project ?

If your graduate program includes a statistics course and you haven't
taken it yet, you'll eventually learn that surveys that allow
self-selection of participants are not sufficiently random to provide
results that are of much utility (and this includes almost every web
site that invites you to vote or offer poll responses on some topic).


For aav readers:
If anybody is thinking about responding:
Eventually this survey focuses on perceptions about Cadillac (and the
CTS specifically).

I selected some random answers to explore the questions, but stopped
responding when there was no "prefer not to answer" option for the
income question....

 

No, you're not, unless you go to a fake college, like the "University"
of Phoenix.

 

The U of Phoenix has a location in the office building where I work.
I think the
top couple of floors maybe. When I get off work at the end the day, I
swear,
I see a goodly number of U of P "students" coming in for evening
classes,
and the group is about 99% black. All getting it paid for not by
themselves
I'm sure. I can't imagine that U of P provides much in the way of
education
from the look of most of the students coming in at this location. I
think
somebody's money is likely being swallowed up by U of P.

 

What a lovely, racist though for Easter.

Thank you

Natalie

 

I am glad that they are getting an education. It is something that we all
need.

Some prejudice sneaking in here, huh?

You haven't been on a college campus lately. Last time I was at City College
in Manhatten, most of the students were wearing jeans and did not look very
scholarly.

I am glad that these individuals are taking advantage of whatever programs
are being offered so that they can get an education. Something that will
benefit us all. A lot of people, especially minorities, have a great deal to
contribute. Unfortunately, too many didn't get an opportunity to learn in
school.

You picked up on the racist part, too, huh?

 

"Jeff" ...

That post stank of it. How dare that troll assume all blacks take handouts.
I never have, and will try never to do so.

But a narrow-minded individual such as this would probably say, "You're a
credit to your race"

*rolling eyes*

Natalie

 

That would be true of all individuals who are taking advantage of the chance
to get an education, regardless of who is paying.

Of course, what the racist people don't get is that the race to which these
people are a credit is the human race.

Jeff

 

"Jeff"

True, that - but he targeted us in particular, so I felt the need to speak
up.

Natalie

 

That's true of all UP students, regardless of their race or income,
and we found so few of their graduates who applied for jobs were
qualified that we now automatically reject anyone who lists UP on
their resume.

 

What cheek to post this across newsgroups and then call it "research".
Your grad school should be ashamed. It stinks.

 

Was that Don Imus?

 

One of my kids as well as two of my co-workers attended the University
of Phoenix. They are typical of UofP students in that they were working
full time and could only attend at night. The classes are generally
taught by people working in the field. Classes are often broken into
working groups of students who arrange among themselves to meet and
produce whatever product the class demands. Having graduated many years
ago from a "regular" college, it seems to me the UofP approach may be
superior. Generally speaking, the students are mature, eager, volunteer
learners willing to sacrifice their time and money to get a degree.
Most of those attending with my son were paying their own way, being
helped by their employers or getting some kind of student aid.

Unfortunately, too many do not take advantage of the opportunity to learn in
school.

School is by definition an opportunity to learn. One can not go to school
and NOT be exposed to the opportunity to learn. They may not avail
themselves to the many opportunities that are presented to them, but the
opportunity is there.

 

It is awfully hard to take advantage of the opportunity to learn when kids
are running amuck around school, and you live in a shelter and don't have a
table to do homework on.

 

But, of course, the science courses which teach about things like
evolution, and about dinosaurs roaming the Earth millions of years
ago, should be disregarded as "unproven theory" (while accepting the
"Adam and Eve" story on pure faith - no evidence required).

 

I agree, and add that the phrase "a credit to your race" may actually
encourage racist thinking.

IMHO, we should take no pride in what others do, just as we should take
no pride in what we were born with. I didn't choose my parents, and
neither did anyone else. So whether we're tall, short, black, white,
yellow, etc. is nothing in which any of us should take pride. It's
simply a fact of heredity. What's important is what we do with the
gifts we inherited.

We SHOULD take pride only in what we accomplish ourselves or something
to which we actively contribute.

On the other hand, we could all buy Indianapolis Colts jerseys and feel
good about ourselves while shouting "we're #1!"
