Unfortunately\, because of their popularity\, many people untrained in survey creation administer poorly designed surveys that yield questionable results. This workshop serves to provide coastal managers and environmental professionals with best practices to write more effective survey questions. If your background is not in the social sciences but you nonetheless find yourself in the position of crafting surveys\, this workshop is for you!\nWorkshop attendees will learn how to: \n Review and critique surveys\, and identify common mistakes in question design\n Incorporate 25 best practices when creating survey questions\n Create appropriate question layout and design\n Identify ways to improve survey questions that yield desired data types \nAbout the Speakers\nChris Ellis\, PhD\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nChris is a social scientist with NOAA’s National Ocean Service\, based in Charleston\, SC. His training is in environmental sociology\, survey design and implementation\, recreation and tourism choice behavior\, organizational behavioral networks\, and social-psychological interaction with the coast. He has extensive experience in working with state and local municipalities to build capacity in coastal conservation\, and community resilience. He also has a portfolio of projects that lend technical assistance to the National Weather Service to enhance its social science capacity. Working currently for NOAA\, and formerly for both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Park Service\, he has gained unique perspectives of how the public and institutions understand\, perceive\, and use natural resources\, particularly in coastal areas. He is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Charleston\, where he works with students on an array of human dimensions-based research topics. Chris received his PhD in 2005 from East Carolina University.\nBrenna Sweetman\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nBrenna is social scientist with NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management based at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa\, AL. Her work focuses on integrating social science to support sound decision-making to address complex coastal and water resource challenges. Through partnerships\, collaboration and the integration of social and natural sciences\, she works to better understand the data\, tool and information needs to protect and maintain coastal communities\, ecosystems and economies. Prior to working with NOAA\, she worked in Central America on coastal and marine natural resource management topics and instructed environmental education. She holds a Master’s in Geography from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Spanish from the University of Pittsburgh.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content] URL:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/event/social-science-basics-writing-effective-survey-questions/ LOCATION:Virtual Training CATEGORIES:Coastal Training Program,General ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/319/2021/10/effective-survey-questions-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Karina Heim":MAILTO:karina.heim@wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20211110T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20211110T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T063937 CREATED:20211013T155325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211102T170715Z UID:3197-1636570800-1636574400@lakesuperiornerr.org SUMMARY:Waabizheshikana Trail and Universal Access to the St. Louis River DESCRIPTION:[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ _bp_base=”3_4″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-left” style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Event Details[/x_custom_headline][cs_text _bp_base=”3_4″] \nThe next River Talk will take place at 7 p.m.\, Wednesday\, November 10 via Zoom.

Refreshments will be provided. \nLast summer\, Sherren led a project that used light to try and trap bloody red shrimp\, a potentially new invasive species in the Duluth-Superior Harbor. Through this project\, which was conducted at night\, she gained insight into what independent research entails and how to solve problems. The project also shed light on a mysterious side of the harbor that many do not see – what the river is like when people are asleep. Did she find the invasive shrimp? Come to the Estuarium to find out! \nThe Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Sea Grant programs offer this series of informal evening talks about the St. Louis River Estuary. Everyone is invited and refreshments will be available. \nCheck the River Talk website for details.
