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 modes for collecting sensitive information e.g., self-administering the sensitive questions in what is otherwise a face-to-face interview. The course also covers newer methods such as mobile web and SMS (text message) interviews, and examines alternative data sources such as social media. It concentrates on the impact these techniques have on the quality of survey data, including error from measurement, nonresponse, and coverage, and assesses the tradeoffs between these error sources when researchers choose a mode or survey design....

Quite boaring but if you are looking in depth detail with the examples that you might not face anytime in life then definitely go for the course.

The instructor has not designed the course properly. It seems very mundane, the instructor is reading out from the slides without any emotion at all and not explaining what he is reading or going into the depth. The design of the course itself it faulty.

the lecturer should speak much clearer. often mumbles and adds unnecessary information. please re-make the video after practicing the presentation. the slides are okay
