In-depth knowledge on components say interviewer, respondent and questionnaire and its relation.
This course will cover the basic elements of designing and evaluating questionnaires. We will review the process of responding to questions, challenges and options for asking questions about behavioral frequencies, practical techniques for evaluating questions, mode specific questionnaire characteristics, and review methods of standardized and conversational interviewing.

An excellent course that covers the fundamental concepts for survey design and administration. The content was well structured and presentations and study material was rich and comprehensive.
SE
A very nice Course in the Social Surveys, very talented Professors in the Survey Field!
AR
It would be very useful for teachers, teacher-trainers etc. They must go for this course.
VV
Pros: Excellent material, great that slides are available for downloadCons: The videos are much too long and have too much detail that could just be added as footnotes in the slides.
TW
This course was exceptional helpful for my thesis research preparation and completion. :)
TA
So much material! The presentations are engaging and well-paced. The presenters showed an appropriate level of candor about the behavior of both respondents and interviewers.
HH
Very good course! I learned much more than what I expected! It is also great help for my psychology course and project.
VH
Very technical but easy to follow, and great evidence offered to give the rationale for the guidance on best practices.
IS
I did learn a lot of theoretical and practical skills for creating my own questionnaire, thank you very much.
CS
Easy to understand, and lots of practical considerations and instructions for designing your surveys.

Interesting course! Thank you for the instructors. I will definitely try some other courses by these authors and University of Michigan.

The material is useful, but the execution is poor. There were numerous quiz questions that I think they just had coded wrong on their end. I think they need to carefully look at the questions with the most incorrect answers and ask themselves if they've made a mistake. Also, this might be the first time they've tried making a peer-reviewed project part of the course, but they did a poor job. They made it a homework assignment for week 2, but didn't make it clear that it wasn't due until the end of the course, even though Coursera sends you emails saying it's due soon. This caused a great deal of confusion. Some of the required readings also had broken links. It's odd nobody on their end checked those the week the material was taught. They do provide a lot of useful supplemental material (though often pay-walled).
Readings were not necessary for the course and quizzes were extremely difficult, seeming to be worded in an attempt to stump students, and many questions were not from the course lessons. Videos very dry and boring.
Bad quality slides and presentation. not possible to use headphone since it was on mono not stereo. Interesting topic but not well executed to fit online learning
the instructor voice are so calm , so i cannot concentrate well
topic is interesting however the lecturers not quite lively
I am in the process of applying for a PhD that will entail developing a questionnaire de novo, and this brief course has been immeasurably helpful in identifying components of questionnaire design that require careful consideration. It is only a taster, and there is certainly a lot more to read up on around the topic, but it has provided a sound basis to grow on. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is new to survey methodology, or is even slightly interested in knowing how the design of surveys can influence results.
The course is useful. Help everybody who want to design a questionnaire. The course content an overview about methodological issues, measurement errors as a consequence of skip some considerations in design the questions or the mode chosen. The project of the course, which you have to draft a questionnaire speed up the learning process. In general, the course delivery what it is promise.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was a narrowly-defined topic (Questionnaire Design) that was well-explored; this makes the course feel like you are actually learning something and does not feel overwhelming in the slightest. You feel you are actually learning a skill rather than a subject. Further, the professors were clear in their teaching methods.
Great for writing a thesis or research critique. Straightforward lectures with excellent information. Not so research-lingo-heavy that your eyes glaze over and you stop paying attention. Delivered in a consumable way that makes understanding research design simple.
This course was very engaging.The reading materials took time to complete, but were essential to fully grasp the video lectures. I have already been able to apply some of these teachings to an unrelated field! Very enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you!
It all makes sense when dealing with data collection in view of questions that an institution or individual may have. It's the starting point for most research efforts and I am delighted for this chance to learn more.

I wasn't a student's social major, I took this course in need of making a questionnaire for my researching. It is useful and easy to access the main key of a survey. Thank you
This course is wonderful! It has great support material and, although the course content is complex, the professors have excellent didactics.
Really great course with very talented instructors. I knew nothing about the material before starting the course, but learned so much.
Very technical but easy to follow, and great evidence offered to give the rationale for the guidance on best practices.
Very good course! I learned much more than what I expected! It is also great help for my psychology course and project.
very knowledgeable course it opened the door to my further study thanks a lot our professors for your hard work .
