As a general note on conducting surveys, I’d advise constraining the responses a bit more, by using a platform for getting responses. Google forms survey + Text fields for comments are easier to use, easier to analyze, and are more comparable between people, since you know they see the same scales, etc.
The downside is that it requires just a bit more work on your part—which is usually a good trade-off.
Benefit: standardised response
disadvantage: have to drag people to another forum. Not sure of the response rate of doing so, or whether I would be able to account for that fairly.
The Google form is not hard; writing actual questions in language that you can get consistent answers from, (in ways that are not possible for different people to interpret differently) is a bit trickier.
