I'm working up a proposal for a research project. Much of my writing
regarding the study is already in .tex files. Now I have to "pitch" the
project to the approviing authorities. I'd like to prepare a written
proposal and an on-screen presentation. I have some experience with
prosper and seminar packages, so I think I can do that fairly easily.
But the study involves some questionairres that the subject will fill
out. I obviously have to include a copy of the survey instrument in the
written proposal. Of course I could do up the survey in my word
processor of choice. But I'm wondering if their are good and convenient
ways to to it in LaTeX, so I can have all my stuff in one place/format.
The survey instrument would be the typical, highly formatted, form,
with fill-in-the-blank questions, put-an-X-on-the-line questions, maybe
some horizontal line dividers, and many Likert-type scales, with a stem
question on the left and then numerical choices of 1 through 5 spaced
out evenly to the right. Am I crazy to think of doing this layout in
LaTeX? Or is there a nice package?
Thanks.
