Surveys/Focus Groups

Tashley idea (email : Sunday, February 8 2009 08:33 am )
I had a dream about doing a survey recently (probably after my Faculty and Staff Evaluation Committee meeting on Friday).

In the dream, we had a focus group in our Instruction Area at Northridge, using laptops and clickers to complete a survey. I guess I was remembering that clickers are eventually going to be used for faculty evaluations--that item was on Friday's agenda.

Another idea from the meeting: Don't offer incentives to survey participants. Terry Moucheyleh was warned about offering incentives when she needed people to do a survey for her dissertation. Incentives skew the results, mainly by attracting only participants who are interested in the type of incentive offered.
