Web Surveys

To obtain a Web-based survey, follow these simple steps:

  1. Develop your survey and audience demographics. Type text/questions in a Microsoft Word document.

  2. Obtain written approval for your survey:

    1. Surveys sampling any part of Western’s population must be approved by the Committee on the Use of Human Subject in Research.
      http://www.missouriwestern.edu/orgs/human_subs/
    2. Surveys conducted by a professor in his or her own class must be approved by the professor’s dean or chair.
    3. Surveys conducted by a student for class assignment and only in that class must be approved by the professor.
      ----Note: If there are any questions about surveying, they should be addressed to the Committee on the Use of Human Subject in Research.
    4. Assessments must be approved by the department chair. Evaluations of internships, site visits, or another activity required of a course are considered assessments.
       
  3. Contact Cindy Wells or Michelle Ritter about building your survey. This needs to be done at least two weeks before you expect to have your survey completed. Make sure you have this information:
    1. Your contact information
    2. Approval in writing
    3. Survey content in a Microsoft Word document
    4. When will your survey or assessment will be active?
    5. When will you download the data?
    6. When will the survey or assessment be removed?
       
  4. Schedule time to build it yourself or have a member of the IMC build it for you. Allow at least one week for building the survey.
     
  5. Bring Word document and written approval to IMC at scheduled time for the building of your survey.
     
  6. Disseminate the survey URL to your audience. This is NOT done by the IMC.
     
  7. Return to the IMC for survey data. The software used to create the surveys has a reporting feature. Data may also be downloaded to a tab-delimited file for importing into a number of spreadsheet and database software applications.
     
  8. Remove survey from the Web and archive.
