Question

Design a
short self-completion questionnaire (at least 6, not more than 10 questions)
for student evaluation of undergraduate modules in social sciences. Discuss the
following aspects of your design

a) the
purpose of the evaluation (what/who is the data being collected for and what is
the ‘hypothesis’?)
b) your
choice of format for questions
c) the
wording of questions (clarity, length, terminology, avoiding double or leading
questions)
d) the
order of the questions
e) types
of coding

Conduct
a small-scale pilot of your questions and explain whether or not you would
modify them in the light of your experience.

classes to the vocabulary the lecturer uses.

Discussion 
A) The purpose of the evaluation  
The data collected above is for both the lecturer directly concerned and the 
department they operate within. the questions are designed to test several hypothesis. The 
first is that social science courses are broadly, but not directly, applicable to general academic 
progress. Often, students will take these courses and enjoy them, but not think about how the 
skills they have gained fit into their academic career in general. Similarly, they often struggle 
with non-obvious parts of the course, which can put them off similar courses in future, and 
reduce the extent to which they transfer any gained skills.  
As such, this survey is designed to unpack both the personal and academic benefits 
and problems of the course and the students particular involvement with uit, developing both 
as distinct response sets. Part of this hypothesis is the assumption that students are capable of 
refined analysis of their experience if they are led into that analysis in the correct manner, and 
that if questions do not develop from one another the answers will be much more confused, 
collating personal and academic responses.
B) Choice of format for questions 
The first two questions use a Likert scale for their answer. This gives us a baseline 
against which to measure the other results, which are more complex. However, each question 
is designed the same way.
