From Confusion to Clarity: Writing Survey Questions That Work
About the event
College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Academy
Summer Tool Kit Series format
- Mini workshops are open to faculty, residents, and graduate students from the College of Veterinary Medicine and across the WSU.
- Our model: these workshops are intended to be active learning sessions. Each topic/idea will be introduced, and then the participants will engage, interact, and sometimes begin to create a product.
- Practically, we hope that participants will come away from each session with 1 or 2 take-home lessons they might apply to their own teaching.

DESCRIPTION: This interactive workshop guides participants through the process of designing clear, well-structured survey question aligned with their research goals. Using real examples, collaborative discussion, and hands-on revision, participants will explore common pitfalls, apply best practices, and refine their own survey items to improve data quality and respondent engagement.
