Pretesting is often used to identify and address potential issues with questionnaires to ensure they are collecting data as intended before they are administered. This course will introduce several commonly used methods for testing and evaluating surveys, including cognitive testing, usability testing, expert review, and pilots. We will provide an overview of each method, its application, and appropriate uses. This course will also offer practical guidance for survey pretesting when time and resources might be limited.

This course will count as 2.0 CSS short course hours.
