Ken Reynhout, Director of Institutional Effectiveness, Assessment, and Research, will be leading a free course for any interested members of faculty or staff on the basics of designing effective surveys. The course will be delivered by Zoom in four one-hour sessions, the first Thursday of each month at 12:00 noon beginning in February. Each session will be recorded. Individual sessions may be missed, if necessary, but attendees should watch recordings of any missed prior sessions before attending a new session. These sessions will temporarily replace the monthly Qualtrics user group meetings, which will resume in June.
