You do not have to be affiliated with the University in order to attend. \r\n\r\nThe mission of the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT) is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. \r\n \r\nSpace is limited so please register early! Since our courses are not for academic credit, fees are based on the number of assigned \u201ccourse hours\u201d to each class.\r\n\r\nPlease view the 2024 course schedule for our extensive class offerings.

The workshop provides students with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and in writing their own survey questions. Sessions combine lecture with group exercises and discussion. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and illustrates how to revise troubled questions. Assignments require that students analyze problematic questions, revise them, and administer them to fellow students. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes, evaluations, and internal\r\nstates).\r\n\r\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\r\nIndividuals who will be writing or reviewing survey questions or survey instruments or analyzing survey data. This course gives practical guidance to those who have written survey questions but who are not familiar with research on question design, those who are just beginning to design survey instruments, and those who use survey data but do not themselves design survey instruments.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"121517-21846648@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/121517", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Fees are based on duration of the course.
