Pair up with someone else from the class. If you are doing a group project, work with another person from your project. (If you have an odd number of people on your team, 3 of you can work together.)

Working together, draft a short survey: about 10 questions. If at all possible, it should be related to your final project, regardless of whether you actually plan to make this a part of your project.

Before you turn it in, pre-test it on at least 3 people. You want them to be as much like your target users as possible, although time and other constraints may mean that you only use your fellow students. Then revise the survey, if necessary, based on your pre-tests.

Turn in:

• A short rationale: what is your purpose, what information do you want to get, and WHY? How will you use this information once you get it?
• A description of your target group, if you were to do this "for real," and what your sampling method would be. Define the following, as applicable, for your survey:
  
• The version that you pre-tested.
• A brief report on your pre-test.
  • On whom did you test it and how? How does this differ from how you would pre-test it if this weren't a class assignment? E.g., on whom would you test it?
  • What did you learn about (a) the questionnaire, and (b) the content area, your questions?
  • What did you need to revise, and why?
• The revised questionnaire.
