Survey Methodology Practicum

Description from DukeHub

Surveys and polls provide much of the data we use to understand the world around us. The course is both a reading course on survey methods and a practicum on survey design, teaching students the skills necessary to implement, use, and interpret survey data. By the end of the course, students should be able to critically assess the quality of survey data, as well as be able to design and conduct an original survey. Prerequisite: Statistical Science 101L or equivalent.
