This course will cover issues associated with implementation of RSD to manage field work. Instructors will provide concrete instruction on active monitoring of key indicators across a variety of environments – small-scale surveys, large-scale surveys, and web, telephone, face-to-face and mixed-mode surveys. Methods for implementing RSD interventions in a diversity of production environments will be discussed. RSD will be presented within the framework of the principles of project management, with a particular focus on risk management. A checklist of steps for implementing RSD will be discussed in detail. This course will draw upon a semester-long graduate course in survey management, which includes sections on RSD.
