Location: India | LMI Test FeedbackStarting this weekend, all LMI tests will have a feedback page (available along with the score page). The feedback page will contain a handful of multiple choice questions that will help the authors gain a better knowledge of the general opinion about different aspects of their test. The questions are divided into 2 categories, Puzzle related and Planning related, with an overall test rating option at the end, which will be the main source for comparison between tests.
The individual voting will remain private. However, if a player wishes to post the choices on the forum, there is a "Post In Forum" button.
This has been started in a hope that the authors can get a better idea about the general opinion for their tests and can evaluate the same for future tests.

Location: India | | How balanced do you think the puzzle types of this test were? | Perfectly balanced | | | What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? | A bit hard | | | What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? | Fairly Nice | | | What was your opinion about the answer key extraction? | Mostly perfect answer keys | | | How did you feel about the length / time limit for this test? | A bit too many puzzles | | | How fair do you think the rankings were? | All players got the score they deserved | | | What was your opinion of the booklet formatting and printing? | Too many pages / too large grids | |
If you click on "Post in Forum", here is how the message will look like. |

Location: India | Thank you everyone for using the new feedback system. 32 players answered at least 7 questions or more, which is lot more what I had expected. We will be continuing to use and improvise this system in future tests. Please feel free to share any feedback on the 'feedback system'.
I also take this opportunity to thank Palmer who spend lot of time giving a finite shape to my basic idea.

Location: New Zealand | Can I suggest adding a Comments free-text box to the Feedback form? Optional of course, and probably not to be published in the forum if that button is clicked.
Because the questions are very vague, it's a chance for people to explain why they chose the answers they did. e.g. what they think is wrong with the rankings, or answer keys, or quality, or timing, or balance.
And possibly more importantly, why they gave 0-3 stars at the end - if LMI learns what puzzlers like and don't like, it can only be good for everyone.
If you don't like that idea, at least put a link/button to send an IM to someone, e.g. make it easy to do.
Thanks :) |

Location: The Netherlands | I was just going to suggest the except same thing as James. Because I have problems exactly showing by reasoning behind the ratings. Because in most questions my answer isn't really an option. |

Location: India | Thanks James and Bram for bringing it up (again). We'll add the free-form text boxes, either 1 each for each question OR just 1 for all the questions.
I have one question though. Who all should have access to read these comments (with or without who posted the comments)?
Is it just me? Is it just me and few other folks at LMI ? I'm not sure if that will achieve our overall goal of "improving the tests" with "players feedback". I think these feedback must be shared with the future authors. If future authors don't know about the feedback, the future tests are unlikely to gain much the whole thing.

Location: The Netherlands | I would say it's good for the authors to see if there are specific concerns, possibly anonymously if that what people prefer. It would be for you to decide if any information is prudent for other authors as well. If a certain complaint is common in multiple tests, then it might be handy to tell other authors to keep this in mind so they can take this into consideration when designing their test. |

|
Location: India | A comments box has been added to the feedback page for more specific feedback. All feedback comments will be posted automatically in the forum. There is also a choice to publish the comment anonymously. |

| | How balanced do you think the puzzle types of this test were? | Fairly balanced | | | What was your opinion of the distribution of easy/hard puzzles? | Just right | | | What did you think about the puzzle quality of the test? | Fairly Nice | | | How did you feel about the length / time limit for this test? | Way too few puzzles (too much time) | |
I liked this test, however I have a problem. |

Location: India | I would like to thank the organizers for conducting this championship event. Though I did not fare well in the contest and stood at only 107th rank with just 3 three submissions made correctly within 150mins, I thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzles even after the closing time. Took me about 7hrs to solve all the 27 puzzles correctly. I was so engrossed in solving the puzzles and found it so interesting that i just couldn't stop continuing even after closing time. Wish the submission time could be little more than 150mins. Thanks anyway. Will be participating again and again. |
