Thanks Ki, Lisnaholic, Burning and Gunnels.
Gunnels... Our undergrads take our surveys quite often. In fact, they were the survey-takers for my pilot survey that led to this final version. The pilot survey had 75 questions!

The reason for NOT usign undergrads for this stage is that the sample should be as widespread as possible so that the results can be reflective of a larger population. If I were to use only UTPA undergrads, then I would have the limitation that the results reflect the perceptions of undergraduate college students in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. However, by gathering data from the entire world, I can make the claim that the results are representative of a larger population.

Thanks very much for your participation, and if you could pass it along that would also be appreciated.
