About the Lunch Topic: Interested in learning how to improve your surveys? Illustrated by real case study examples, this lunch discussion will include tips on survey "do's and don'ts." In fall 2004, CAS's Information Technology Fluency Task Force administered a pilot assessment to incoming students during orientation and to graduating students during the final weeks of class. Taking the first round of results into consideration, Dr. Shelley Strowman worked with Academic Technology and the Task Force to revise the assessment. The primary focus of this lunch discussion will be the common pitfalls that were addressed during the revision process. There will be time for participant questions about survey design issues.
The IT Fluency assessment is now available online through WebCT. Following our discussion of best practices in survey design, we will briefly note the overarching findings of the assessment. A poster about the project will also be on display.

She is Principal of Strowman Research Services, a research and analysis consulting firm in Framingham. Prior to founding Strowman Research Services, she held various research analyst positions in the Boston and San Francisco Bay areas.
