    (11/16): Survey Design
    This workshop will give a general overview of survey design. We will cover the major concepts needed for constructing a survey from scratch starting from defining research questions up to analyzing the data collected. We will discuss a step-by-step procedure for designing surveys and common errors or issues which may arise from deeper statistical concepts to question phrasing. We will also discuss some useful steps to take before performing statistical analysis and some common analysis techniques, along with demonstrations. The work shop will finish with a discussion of interrater reliability which can help assess the validity of your data and refine surveys by determining if the appropriate scales have been chosen for a particular measure. All topics will be illustrated with examples.

    Prerequisites: Experience with ANOVA will be useful but no prior statistical knowledge is required for the bulk of the workshop.
