This workshop is designed for anybody looking to use Qualtrics to design a survey. It will walk through creating a survey and will provide best practices in regards to survey design. A specific focus will be placed on how to best create a survey that will make the data analysis much simpler and that will minimize the amount of data cleaning that will need to occur.
