Description:
This course is about the principles and practicalities of questionnaire design and basic sample size issues.This course will look at good practice in questionnaire design. It will examine aspects of surveys such as how researchers can design them so as to make them attractive to their target respondents, how researchers can ask specific “awkward” questions in a way that will encourage responses and how researchers can structure questions to achieve clarity and avoid multiple purposes in a single question. It will also look at how to choose the best method of distributing your survey and how to get the right people to answer it.
Basic sample size issues will be explored including how to calculate the sample size required in order to obtain a desired accuracy for a confidence interval.
