Content 

This interactive five-day online course teaches you the entire process of designing a survey:  sources of survey errors, sampling, survey modes, nonresponse bias, questionnaire design, concepts and survey question development and evaluation, data collection, and it also discusses cross-country comparative extensions, survey research ethics, and transparency needs.

What This Course is About?
This interactive five-day online course gives an overview of the entire survey process. It begins by covering sources of survey errors and associated tradeoffs, sampling, survey modes, nonresponse bias. The course then discusses questionnaire design, concepts and the effective development and evaluation of survey questions to measure them, the actual data collection process, their cross-country comparative extensions, as well as survey research ethics and transparency needs. Instead of lectures, the pre-recorded course materials will mostly consist of conversations with the world’s leading experts on these topics that we, at our Zoom meetings, will also discuss along with the readings. Hands-on components of the course will allow participants to plan for the development and evaluation of their own survey research projects.
