PSY-RSS03 Questionnaire Construction

0.5 semester credits
In this course students will learn the theory and practice of questionnaire construction, whether creating a simple background questionnaire, or developing more complex instruments. The focus of this seminar will be to design questionnaires to be used for research purposes rather than clinical applications. Students will also get practice and guidance on formatting questionnaires in a way that invites participants to complete them and avoid confusion, which can lead to unusable responses. Web-applications are also covered. In order to earn credit, students must attend the entire seminar and complete the homework assignments.
