How to master Google Forms?
Google Forms is a versatile tool that can be used for various needs such as survey, tests, registrations and others. It provides an inclusive guide on how to optimize Google forms by allowing multiple responses, limiting responses, knowing different question types, using form limiters and student responses.
Enabling Multiple Responses on Google Forms
To allow participants submit more than one response to your form follow the steps below:
Open your form in Google forms
Click on settings at the top of the form.
Next to “Responses,” click on the down arrow.
Switch on “Allow response editing”.
This allows users to change their responses after sending it in case you want to maintain ongoing surveys or feedback forms that may require updates later.
Limiting the Number of Responses on Google Forms
You need to do this if you want every participant’s contribution restricted to only one. Here is how:
Open your form in Google forms,
Click on settings at the top of the form.
Turn “Limit to 1 response” ON
This feature is particularly useful when filling out quizzes or registration forms where multiple entries from a single person are undesirable.
Understanding Multiple Choice and Checkbox Questions
When creating a questionnaire, it is important that one chooses the appropriate kind of questions. Understanding multiple-choice (MC) and checkbox questions will help you make a better choice:
Multiple-choice (MC) questions: These are used when you want respondents to pick just one answer from a list of options. It works best with questions where there can only be one correct answer.
Checkbox: Use checkboxes if you want people taking part in your survey able to check off more than one answer. This type suits queries asking for more than an option which could be scientific investigations.
Using Form Limiter
Form limiter is a characteristic that enables setting restrictions over any respondent depending upon some predetermined condition like time; To use Form Limiter ;
Find “form limiter-PROD.”
Set limiter Set the time for “set limiter” which is hour at which form will stop accepting responses automatically.
Remember to click “Set” and then “Save and enable.”
This feature is useful in cases where a form should no longer be accessed after a given deadline as it happens with time-sensitive forms such as tests or event sign-ups.
Viewing Student Responses on Google Forms
It’s important to efficiently review submitted responses. To see what students have responded,
Click on “Responses” at the top of the form.
To get an overview of the replies, click Summary.
Quick analysis and review are facilitated through this summary since it provides insights into trends and common answers.
By understanding and utilizing these advanced settings and features of Google Forms, you can create more precise and functional forms that meet the specific needs of your project or classroom activities.
