1BM05-BPM Experiment -- Part B

PART C - Model Understandability

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

Dear Participant,

Thank you for participating in this study. Your contribution is valuable for our research on BPM.

This is part of an experiment on the understandability of business process models, designed by the researchers of the Eindhoven University of Technology, Information Systems Group.

Please note:

1. The experiment has THREE main parts, and the one you are viewing now is Part C on “model understandability”. You are expected to do it in your convenient time until 12 January 2020 17:30. (Other parts are accesible via bpmresearch.net to be completed until the same deadline!)

2. Expect this part to take about 30-45 minutes to complete, but there is no time-limitation.

3. However, you are expected to complete the questionnaire in one go - without any break. So, please ensure now that you can start and complete in one-go.

4. This experiment is not appropriate to be performed through a mobile/smart phone. Please use a laptop (you may otherwise miss some questions).

5. The answers you will provide to the questions have no influence on your course grade. However, you are expected to take the experiment and questions seriously and attempt for an answer in order to be considered to have successfully participated. By participating in this experiment, you agree to this term.

6. The time you spent for answering each question is recorded (which gives a good indication of whether you took it seriously and deserve to be considered "done" with your assignment. Note that, we will have to evaluate the time spent by each participant for each question for validity/reliability in any case!).

7. It is not allowed to use any book, notes or other material.

8. The results of this experiment will not be released in any individually identifiable form. They will be treated strictly confidential and will only be used for scientific purposes. By participating in this experiment, you agree to the use of the data you provide for research purposes (please refer to the points below regarding confidentiality).

9. You will later receive the correct answers for this part of the experiment.

10. If you have any questions, please contact through email.

If you are ready, please enter your (student) ID number (7 characters possibly with a '0' in front*) and click NEXT to continue.

Student ID:

* PhD students may have an ID with 8 characters, in which case you need to enter with 8 characters.

Remarks about confidentiality:
Please note that the experiment requires your personal identification information (student-id) to be gathered. This is to confirm that you made a serious effort for the experiment (and became eligible for a the point that you can get from the assignment). (This analysis is also important for our research, as we need to identify outliers/unreliable cases in our dataset to derive valid conclusions from it).
Once we identify such cases, and prepare your performance report for you to review, the personal identification information will be permanently removed from the dataset. This is to make sure that the remaining data is completely anonymous - i.e. without any information that can allow anyone to connect/trace any response back to the person that created it. This data, which will be stored only in an anonymous form, is sufficient for our research purposes.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
