This course provided a good introduction. I would have been interested in some less "large" scale data collection examples, e.g. responding to the increasing use of surveys in non-profit, higher education and education organizations.

Interesting course. I liked the length of the videos. Parts of the quizzes were more about memorization than application, so I'm not sure how much that part of the course will stay with me. The material itself was helpful though.

This was an interesting course. Week four was less exciting for me and I did not understand the quiz--why should I memorize what different survey components are? Overall, however, it was interesting and well delivered. Thank you.

A good overview of surveys and data collection methods. The Total Survey Error framework is good, but its application isn't shown as strongly as it should be. Regardless this is a good primer for future material.

Lot of definitions, so some of the questions (especially week 4) test reading comprehension more than understanding - but hopefully this will improve in the subsequent courses of the specialization.

I think this course gives the basic & important knowledge about survey and data collection. Some can feel the course boring. But I believe the important knowledge boring sometimes.

This course is valuable to learn how to perform data collection, analysis and surveys. The topics are good. The contents can be revised again to easily understand.

The way the instructor was teaching was not very exciting, but the course was a good start as it had general information about data analysis.

The deliver papers are great but slides are poor. In overall, a good course to begin learning about Data Collection and Analysis.

I though it was a good background course, however, I wish initially (in week 1) there was more focus on definitions.

It is a very fundamental and brief explanation about data collection, especially for the survey process.

It is a very good introduction to a broad and complex topic. Support material was also very helpful.

Very good course. The readings are far from being suitable for beginners.

Good introductory course that discusses main points of survey methodology

An extremely thorough overview on overall survey design methodology.

Easy to learn, overall Information with good and powerful examples

I'd like to see more example of regional data collections

It a great opportunity to learn data collection frame

The course was interesting and was knowledgable.

I got a great overview of the material.

informative course for beginners

Thank you for the great course.

Very good refere

Good

Overall this was a fine introduction. I would have liked a more rigorous approach to introducing and defining concepts. The last course on examples of surveys was pretty weak - with more work the instructor could have better linked the examples to concepts we had previously learned. Instead she just did a rote report out of the purpose, design, and potential issues. The slides had all the information she was going to share, she didn't add much value with her speaking.
