SUMMARY:The How-To Guide for Developing Survey Questionnaires
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIn this one-day workshop and drawing on\nDr. Sar
 ah Wilkins-Laflamme’s 10+ years of experience running\nnational and int
 ernational surveys\, we will review the key steps in\ndeveloping high-qua
 lity survey questions and questionnaires along\nwith tips for achieving
  precise\, relevant and accessible measures when\ncollecting survey data
  via smartphone\, tablet\, computer\, in-person\ninterview\, telephone int
 erview and mail. There will be a number of\nhands-on activities throughout
  this workshop for constructing\nnew survey measures as well as for im
 proving examples of\nexisting survey measures brought by the workshop 
 participants\nthemselves and drawn from the International\nSocial Survey
  Programme’s 2024 module on digital societies.\n\nThe workshop will be
  held in DC 1568. Registration is free for all\nstudents\, faculty and sta
 ff at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.\n

SUMMARY:Explore Your Count Data
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nCount data\, which consists of non-negative integer
 s\, is commonly\ncollected and analyzed in fields like epidemiology\, geno
 mics\, and\nclinical research. This workshop will introduce you to Poisson
 \nregression\, a powerful tool for modelling count data over time.\n

SUMMARY:Unlock the Power of Linear Regression
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nLinear regression models\, also known as linear mod
 els\, are essential\ntools in various fields due to their simplicity and e
 ase of\ninterpretation. This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction 
 to\nboth simple and multiple linear regression.\n

SUMMARY:Unleash the Power in Your Data
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nData often comes in the form of tables or databases
 \, making it\nchallenging to understand beyond their sizes and variable ty
 pes. This\nworkshop will introduce you to graphical and numerical techniqu
 es to\nuncover the structure of your data.\n

SUMMARY:Analysis of Survey Data: 101 and Beyond
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThough the workshop will not go into mathematical d
 etails and proofs\,\nit will provide some reasoning and intuition behind t
 he key formulas\nused in survey sampling. It will also look at various exa
 mples using\nthe statistical software SAS (free to students\, faculty and 
 staff at\nthe University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ). In addition to illustrating basic d
 ata\nanalysis techniques\, those examples aim to provide guidance on some 
 of\nthe pitfalls of analyzing survey data. Part 3 is a practical hands-on\
 nopportunity for participants to conduct basic data analysis using SAS\non
  their own laptop.\n\nThis two-day workshop will be held in DC 1568. Regis
 tration is free\nfor all members of the university.\n
