About the Course

This course will provide you with an overview over existing data products and a good understanding of the data collection landscape. With the help of various examples you will learn how to identify which data sources likely matches your research question, how to turn your research question into measurable pieces, and how to think about an analysis plan. Furthermore this course will provide you with a general framework that allows you to not only understand each step required for a successful data collection and analysis, but also help you to identify errors associated with different data sources. You will learn some metrics to quantify each potential error, and thus you will have tools at hand to describe the quality of a data source. Finally we will introduce different large scale data collection efforts done by private industry and government agencies, and review the learned concepts through these examples. This course is suitable for beginners as well as those that know about one particular data source, but not others, and are looking for a general framework to evaluate data products....

Very clear and organised structure

Clear examples to support learning objectives

Attractive use of voice

One point for improvement: Do not film while the lecturer is still refinding breath

Useful to build basic knowledge which helps you choosing a better mode and linking the objectives of research with the tools (how).

Thanks to the instructor and Coursera.

i would say the course over all is good ,in module one and 2 the videos were not so good was too short and the readings were good but missed some points were mentioned in videos so i felt some kind of being lost in between

in modules 3 and 4 videos were great but readings were so boring actually

quizzes were nice

i hoped that readings were more organized and structured like detecting certain book and we stuck with it through the course

the best thing in my opinion about the course is the discussion section , it was so helpful too me and tease me to continue the course till the end

actually it was so interesting experience to me , waiting for the next courses and achievement

thank you a lot coursera world for this

Not very pleased with this course. Designing a survey framework is such an interesting and fascinating topic that it can be taught in quite fun-filled and engaging ways. But unfortunately this course was too boring and academic. Every thing they covered in the class could have been made much more interesting and application oriented for people who have been away from academia for sometime. Having completed some exceptionally well designed courses in Coursera, this course fell short of my expectations.

Really poorly organized class. Quizzes were on obscure random facts, and had nothing to do with real learning. Professor was all over the place; didn't explain terms, course wasn't scaffolded in a way to allow for learning or really organized in a logical way at all. Super disappointed because I was really looking forward to the topic.

This course greatly helped me in polishing and/or fine-tuning my understanding on the science and implementation of survey research, especially on topics/issues/considerations that usually give little attention to when participating in such research endeavors. The discussion on the total survey error framework was particularly eye-opening. I think that my satisfaction on the course stems largely from reflecting through previous research experience, so I am not entirely sure if a similar level of benefit/satisfaction would be obtained by those students starting from scratch in this kind of research. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this course to those who helped in conducting at least one survey research in the past. I am looking forward to complete the entire Specialization that this offering introduces.

This course is very insightful and thorough. The only downside is that a lot of terms were not explained, even though it was an introductory course. The instructor communicated like she was speaking to professionals who are already versed with these terms, and that is the only downside of it. Every other thing is on point. So, keep in mind that you will have to do extra digging and learning yourself so that you can meet up to have a better comprehension of the explanation of the instructor.

Above all, I say thank you to the instructor for the opportunity and privilege to take this course, even as I proceed to complete the other courses in this specialization. And I hope it gets better from here on.

I had a technical issue in the last week. The text was in Spanish although my setting was English. With the assistance of DEEPL I managed the questions of week 4.

Otherwise I enjoyed the course. I had seen the course reviews before I registered and was hesitant at first. When starting I saw that I had to adjust my learing pasttern for this course. So I first read carefully the text files provided and then looked the videos. This helped alot. I am looking forward to the next course in this specialisation.

The Framework for Data Collection and Analysis is a versatile and valuable resource for researchers in various fields. It guides the research process from data collection and sampling to data processing, analysis, and interpretation. Emphasizing quality control and ethical considerations, it ensures credible and reliable research outcomes. Its flexibility and adaptability make it a relevant tool for diverse research domains, enhancing the structured and methodical approach to data-driven research.

This is a great course. I loved Prof. Kreuter's lectures on Total Sample Error framework. Looking forward to learn from the remaining courses in the specialization.
