What questions = Facts
(Knowledge)
Why questions = Thinking
(Evaluation!)
Know your audience
Eliminate distractions
CONTEXT How and where the survey is conducted means as much as
the questions asked.
Know whats important
If you want to know what participation is like, dont ask what a
person has ever done, ask what have they done lately - much more
interesting.
Indicate which community activities you have done in the last
twelve months.

quite a few followup qustions - dont know why they participated,
followup survey is needed to try and figure out why people
participate.
Test your assumptions
Surveys are a collaboration between the person who wrote the
survey and the person taking it.Each question says as much about
the person who wrote the survey, as the answer says about the
person who is taking it.
