Many studies are with and about students. In these cases you might wann to know

Study subjects as drop-down menu
With drop-down
menus one can save a lot of space and kinda pretend to have a short survey.
However, one should still be careful applying drop-down menus and consider
that a user needs more time to choose the appropriate answer in a drop-down
menu than in choosing the right radio button or a check box. In some cases
drop-down menus are, on the other hand, the only choice, especially when the
list of possible answers to choose from is rather long. From cognitive
psychology we know that the human being is able to comprehend up to six
elements at the same time, hence drop-down menus should only be used with more
than 7 possible answers.
This is what it could look like:
