2 Basic Types of survey questions:
1. Open-ended Questions– Free-response
(Text Open End)
– Fill-in relevant information
2. Close-ended Questions– Dichotomous question
– Multiple-choice
– Rank
– Scale
– Categorical
– Numerical
Note: For specific examples and students’ activities on each question style, please refer to the notes on Data Collection in the e-learning.
