A practicum giving training in the administration of social survey research. Normally this will be in conjunction with the K-W Metropolitan Area Survey (KWMAS), an annual area survey administered by the Department of Sociology. Weekly seminars will combine examination of the scholarly literature on issues in survey research with case materials from the KWMAS. Students will gain practical experience in such issues as dealing with clients, working out a production schedule for the survey, assembling a questionnaire, writing an OHR (ethics) brief, making sampling design decision, and conducting pretest fieldwork. The course requires a paper on some aspect of survey administration.
