Assignment 6 - Questionnaire-based Web experiment using Python/CGI

Distributed 2009-10-26
Due 2009-11-08

The assignment is to get your own experiment up and running in your
Stanford account's cgi-bin.  You are highly encouraged to use the code
base we develop in class this week as a starting point.  The only
requirements are the following:

  -- Some of your items should have at least two conditions, and thus
     your program should deal with at least two questionnaires.
  
  -- If you have people make choices from a pre-selected list, then
     the order of choices needs to be randomized (unless it is
     scalar).

  -- The order of presentation of items from each questionnaire should
     be randomized.

  -- When people finish, they should be taken to a form that they fill
     out with their name and contact details, so that you can contact
     them for extra credit or payment.  The form they fill out should
     create a file that goes into a folder labeled "ec" or "to-pay" or
     something.  There should be no connection at all between the
     response data and this form.

On November 8, please submit:

 * a ZIP or TGZ archive of all your materials
 * a link to your working experiment
 * the output of ls -lR on your experiment's directory, so that I can
   check that your file permissions are sensible
