3. Survey Best Practices Establish a goal - Have a goal for the survey.
Strive for clarity - When conducting a survey, it is important to ask questions that have clear, concise answer choices. Instead of yes or no responses, offer a variety of choices that will provide relevant feedback
Keep it simple – Limit the number of questions. Ask questions that will provide the feedback that you need, and nothing more.
Allow for opinion – Use the essay question option to explain answers or add an opinion. This gives the respondent an opportunity to provide specific feedback.
