Consultation for Survey Development
The Office of University Assessment can can offer consultation to academic programs looking to develop and revise surveys. Please contact assessment@duke.edu to schedule an appointment to discuss your survey objectives. Please note that we require as much notice as possible, especially during busy periods (e.g., at the end of the term). Other Duke resources for survey guidance include:
- Social Science Research Institute
- Duke Initiative on Survey Methodology
- The Office of University Assessment makes available an Excel inventory of all COFHE survey questions.
- Office of Undergraduate Education Research
- OIT Qualtrics support articles
We support the creation of thoughtful surveys and sound methodologies, while recognizing that survey fatigue is a real concern, and one effective way to encourage meaningful response data is by minimizing the frequency and length of surveys.
Undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to consult with the appropriate university personnel, including but not limited to their research mentors/supervisors, the Undergraduate Research Support Office, the Dean of Students Office, and/or Campus IRB to ensure their compliance with university policies and procedures.
