I'll tell you why these are 'surveys' bother me. They are fronts for a web site that tracks usage to a degree that goes beyond conducting a simple survey. Sure, they sound benign enough in their Privacy Policy, but why the need for cookies and javascript for a survey? I would never enable javascript to fill out a survey from some outfit I'm not familiar with. None of that crap is necessary for a school project. Is your school getting cash kickbacks for enabling that site to collect information from people who fill out your 'survey'?
