Hello:

As an important CMI training centre we are very involved in the processes that inform the future development of management and management consulting courses.

We are undertaking research to help inform our understanding of two key things that impact people studying CMI courses.

The amount of time you have to study
Word counts for assignments.

You are invited to participate in our survey about the time it takes to study and word counts for assignments.  It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary.
However, we hope you will as it could be instrumental in how future courses are designed.
if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions. Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.

Thinking about the word count for written assignments, would you say the word count was:
 
Too low – it was difficult to fit everything into the word count. I would have preferred to have had a higher word count.
 
About right – I was able to write about everything I wanted to within the word count without difficulty.
 
Too high – it was difficult to write enough to meet the lower limit of the word count.
 
Other please comment
 
 
 
 
Did you use tables in your assignments?
 
Yes
 
No
 
 
 
If you did use tables please answer this question.
How important was using tables in making sure that you complied with the word count for your assignments?
 
Not important – I could meet word count limits with or without using tables
 
Quite important – it would have been very challenging to meet word count limits without using tables
 
Very important – it would have been impossible to meet word count limits without using tables
 
Thank you for your time.
