Poor form to start w/ personal information and demographics. Surveys should start with topical questions to build rapport.

There's no explanation up front, other than that you provide a guarantee of confidentiality (rather than anonymity). -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Hansika Kapoor Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2014 9:46 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] What Swear would You Use?
