[HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Student Survey Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Goethe-University Frankfurt

[john whelan]

If you've been selected for a random sample, and it is a true random
sample, passing the link to anyone else effectively contaminates the
sample.

Random sampling is a mathematical technique that is used in surveys to draw
conclusions based on a small sample that can be extrapolated to a larger
population.

By passing the link on the responses will be bias towards more experienced
mappers who read the list, so to preserve the methodology the survey should
only be completed by the person it was sent to.

There was a discussion earlier in the list with a comment from Pierre
saying it would be useful to run slightly different surveys with questions
aimed at new mappers, mappers with some experience and  very experienced
mappers.  I don't know if this survey is of that type.
