Creating an Effective Test or Survey Instrument Paper

Assume you have been hired by SurveyMonkey as the new corporate trainer. Your first task is to create a PowerPoint presentation on the proper way for users or learners to create a survey or test. Based upon your reading, prepare a 10 to 15 slide PowerPoint presentation on survey- or test-design best practices. Include in your PowerPoint a discussion of each of the following:

• Survey/test goals
• Survey/test question types
• Question sequencing
• Feedback
• Results processing

You must include at least two references, in addition to the textbook. Your PowerPoint presentation must be 10 to 15 slides in length, not including title and reference slides, and formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Along with your PowerPoint presentation, be sure to submit a Word document title page to the dropbox for grading.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
