Survey and Questionnaire Design

Do you need help developing your survey? Evaluation and Assessment at St. Olaf College can help! E&A provides support to faculty and staff working to develop surveys or questionnaires. We provide support for all types of surveys, for example, end of semester faculty evaluations, departmental development evaluations, research surveys, or opinion surveys.

We’ve collected a variety of online resources to help you develop, organize, and implement your instrument. We also offer FORM CREATOR an online evaluation development and feedback system.

In the process of developing your survey or evaluation, if you still need development support or feedback on the final draft of your survey, please contact E&A.
