Ability to go back to previous sections of questionnaire #112

Closed jywarren closed 9 years ago

jywarren commented 9 years ago

Update: There's no way to go back and answer Qs from entirely skipped sections -- I don't get access to the first forum even though I skipped all the questions.

You should be able to jump back to the beginning of previous questionnaire sections; currently if you skip a whole section, that's it. Changing title to reflect this.

@shapironick - should you be able to skip back to partially completed sections where you skipped some questions? Or only ones where you've skipped the whole set?

Hey @shapironick - could you take a look at this issue and clarify? Thanks.

I'm a little confused. I don't think users should be able to go back to sections of the original questionnaire after seeing the forums and seeing the graphs of other people's answers. I think that would erode the validity of the data as they would be primed to answer differently. or maybe i am getting your question wrong?

although, they should be able to do the whole thing again to track changes over time. that data won't be as valid as the original 'blind' round of survey answering but can still be valuable.

I guess there is no real difference between doing the survey 'again' if you skipped everything and doing it again if you answered every question the first time.

Do you think we can have some sort of design scheme to encourage people to do the survey thoroughly the first time but then allow them to have another shot to try it again, but registering that they have seen the forums and the data should be considered to have a different validity to un-primed entries?

Ok, that's fine-- can you close this and make a new issue of "warn users that they won't be able to go back if they skip Qs" and add in it "with link explaining why" and provide a few sentences of text explaining this that can be shown?

And mark for milestone 1.5. Thanks! On May 8, 2015 11:39 AM, "shapironick" notifications@github.com wrote:
