Event Description
Have you thought about administering a survey or do you feel like you need a refresher? Join Abbey Hammell, Survey Researcher & Qualtrics Brand Administrator, and Jonathan Brown, Research and Project Management Analyst, from the University of Minnesota's University Survey and Assessment Services for a big-picture view on conducting effective surveys.

Attendees can expect to learn how to: 
  1. Identify when a survey is the appropriate method to answer your questions of interest, regardless of context (eg. academic research, administrative research, program evaluation, etc.)
  2. Develop an effective objective or research question for using surveys
  3. Define your target population and where to find survey participants
  4. Understand common pitfalls to avoid in survey question design, sampling, and data analysis
A zoom link for the webinar will be sent out 24 hours in advance.
