Description:

Have you ever discovered too late that your survey questions did not deliver useful or useable data? This course highlights ways to avoid pitfalls in the wording of individual survey questions as well as for the questionnaire whole. It also points out questionnaire design differences between face-to-face and telephone interviews, web and mobile web surveys and paper self-completion. Drawing on 30 years of the instructor’s experience and research findings from questionnaire design experiments, this course is full of practical advice.

By the end of the course, participants will:

  • Have a knowledge of the different aspects involved in writing good survey questions and questionnaires,
  • Have the ability to write their own high quality questionnaires
  • Have the tools to critique existing surveys
  • Have awareness about the differences in questionnaire design between face-to-face and telephone surveys, web and mobile web surveys and paper self-completion.
