Week 8 Coming Back to Research
Initial Post Instructions
End-of-course student surveys exist for you to share your anonymous feedback on your courses.
The purpose of the survey is to gather data from a specific population (you, the students) to
understand your experience in the course, and to determine areas of success and improvement in
our courses, including this one (so hopefully you do share your feedback because we always
want to improve our courses and teaching).
Chapter 1 of the textbook and Week 1 of this course explored the research process. As mentioned
in Week 1, research is fundamental in the social sciences, and a survey is a common sociological
data collection method. If we look at the course surveys from a sociological perspective, we see
that they are used to understand a specific population's perspective of a social experience/issue.
For this discussion, then, you will observe and analyze and evaluate the survey itself, as the
budding social scientists you all now are, based on your learning in this course!
Now, to come full circle, analyze the end-of-course surveys for their effectiveness as a
sociological measurement tool.
How would you improve the survey itself to create the very best snapshot of student
impressions of this or any Chamberlain University Online course?
Which questions would you add and why?
Which would you delete and why?
What questions would you change and why?
What questions would you keep the same and why?
