Feedback on Michael Aird's research/writing

Thanks in advance for completing this survey. My hope is that it will help me better understand the quality, usefulness, impact, etc. of the work I've done so far; how this varies between different topics/pieces; and how I can improve.

By default, all responses will be anonymous, but you're welcome to share your name at the end if you want.

You're very free to skip questions (but of course, the more you answer, the more I can learn).
