Online Surveys

Surveys not only allow you to collect opinions from students, but can encourage students to reflect on their attitudes and conceptions.

Examples

Medieval Realms: Women's Lives - A survey asking true-false statements about the status of women in the Middle Ages. Later students examine documents to see if their answers were correct.

Celtic Survey (ANGEL Demo) - A sample survey asking students if they agree or disagree with statements made about the Celts. In this case all statements are true depending on which era/region you are referring to.

Daily Class Evaluation - This is a graphic of a form used by an instructor in the College of Education which asks students to evaluate his lectures.

American English Dialect Survey - A comprehensive survey asking users about all aspects of language use. Data goes into a national database.

NYU Depression Screening Test - A series of pre-diagnostic questions on depression that students can use to informally evaluate themselves.

American Choices Foreign Policy Survey - A series of questions designed to evaluate an individual's priorities (e.g. maintaining alliances vs. preserving internal security) when thinking about international issues.

NOTE: If you plan to use student data in future academic research, make sure students have signed release forms. See the Penn State human subjects guidelines for more information.
