    About the Course

    This course presents research conducted to increase our understanding of how data collection decisions affect survey errors. This is not a
    “how–to-do-it” course on data collection, but instead reviews the literature on survey design decisions and data quality in order to sensitize
    learners to how alternative survey designs might impact the data obtained from those surveys. The course reviews a range of survey data
    collection methods that are both interview-based (face-to-face and telephone) and self-administered (paper questionnaires that are mailed and
    those that are implemented online, i.e. as web surveys). Mixed mode designs are also covered as well as several hybrid mod...

    Enjoyed the course. I think it would be great if we could get the correct answers to questions we get wrong, even if it's an option.

    This course was excellent. In terms of content, I think the quality of the lectures really rivalled in-person instruction -- the professor is clearly incredibly well-versed in the subject matter, and listening to him really brought back the feeling of sitting in a lecture hall and just being fascinated by what was being presented. Great, relevant readings as well. Overall, a fantastic course for anyone looking to gain an understanding of the different ways surveys can be conducted.

    I enjoyed learning this course from day one till I finish. The lecturer is awesome and the supplementary materials are well-prepared and extremely informative. Plentiful scientific literature on survey methodology are available to deepen you understanding on this topic. I particularly admire Fred Conrad, his expertise in Survey Methodology is unmatched. I wish I had him and this course when I was learning Statistics in college.

    Super informative and content driven. Opened up a new world of information and knowledge regarding survey data collection. Never knew that so much research and analysis goes behind the science of data collection and recording. The touch of behavioral psychology was an added bonus. Kudos to Prof. Conrad and Prof. Kreuter!
