Course Description
This course is taught by individuals with more than five years of experience conducting questionnaire surveys with between 2,000 to 8,000 participants. Properly conducting a questionnaire survey requires knowledge of its essential elements and practical experience; therefore, each class consists of two components: a lecture by the instructor in charge and an exercise on statistics and question item design. In the second half of the course, students will conduct a questionnaire survey with about 100 people.
