Welcome to the Campus Climate SurveyDear Students,
We invite you to participate in this study titled "Stress in College Life Affecting Student Well-being: Uncovering the Perceived Sources of Stress in IIT Kharagpur Students". We, MMST students of SMST at IIT Kharagpur, are doing this study as a compulsory mini project included in our curriculum.
Stress is inevitable in everyday life and college student are under a lot of stress. We would like to find out the major stressors from your perspective.
If you agree to participate in this study, we will ask you to answer a questionnaire regarding various aspects of the campus environment. The questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete.
Your participation in this research is entirely voluntary. You can refuse to answer any particular question you do not wish to answer. You may decide not to participate in this study at all or withdraw from it before the final submission. Your decision or your choices in the questionnaire will not affect your future relations with your faculties of the Institute.
The responses will be completely anonymized by a randomly generated number which cannot be linked with your identity at any stage after submission. The initial login page of name and roll number is taken to authenticate the session only.
You may or may not benefit directly from the participation in this study, but the research should help us learn how to improve the campus environment for the overall well-being of the students.
Nothing that you tell us today will be shared with anybody outside the research team, and nothing will be attributed to you by name. The results will be published online, possibly by the end of April 2010, on the IIT Kharagpur website.
If you have any questions or concerns about the research, please feel free to contact us...
Thank you for your cooperation.
