- Objective:
|
- Measuring a person’s participation level in a series of Edit-a-thons.
|
- Very Poor:
|
- Do you disagree that the weekly edit-a-thon at the local library should not be continued?
|
|
|
|
- This question contains a double negative that is both confusing and misleading.
|
|
- Poor:
|
- Do you agree or disagree that the weekly edit-a-thon at the local library should not be continued?
|
|
|
|
- This question is still poor because a respondent might become confused or spend too long thinking what the question is asking.
|
|
- Better:
|
- To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The weekly edit-a-thon at the public library should continue.
|
|
|
|
- By separating the question from the statement, respondent might be better able to distinguish between the question being asked and the subject of the question so they can provide an answer easily.
