Information on Surveys

• Surveys help determine present facts (e.g., how many hours per week do you study?).

• Surveys are limiting for 1) self-reporting of past behavior, 2) predicting future behavior, 3) determining why and how a person does what he or she does.

Question Tips

• Avoid using “I” – Example: “I want to know if you want weekday or weekend assignments.” vs. “Would you prefer assignments that are due on weekdays or weekends?”

• Keep questions positive – Example: “What do you not like…” vs. “How can I improve…”

• Create questions that are short and simple, when possible.
