Survey Analysis
After reading Chapter 4, create a table to look at the St. Thomas Survey on the DNP Program. Each question has some problem with it. Identify the problem and rewrite each question avoiding the “identified” problem.
See the Survey Analysis Sample on the Module 3: Lecture Materials & Resources.
