Also, if I want to take a poll on these, could you suggest the format?

Thank you.

1. either At or Of. If directing someone to contact someone else where you know that the other person is located AT that place, you would probably say AT. If you are declaring an affiliation, it is more likely to say OF

2. same as above

3. AT

4. AT

5. AT

6. AT

There are other conditions of which you should be aware though...

If you were to say the following...

Dr. Bob is a professor OF Mathematics AT Northwest College...

RE: your question... Is a little vague. Could you please provide an example of what you mean by a poll and how you would use it...

Thank you very much. I will edit (revise) my questionnaire
a little bit according to your advice.
