I never believe any poll unless I know what questions were asked (exact wording required) and the actual answer given.  I have seen to many surveys with the questions designed to guarantee the results desired.

Most surveys are leading.  Normally they will phrase the questions so that a certain answer will be predominately picked.  Such as...\n\nDid you know some studies have shown peanut butter sandwiches can cure some diseases?\n\nDid you know peanut butter sandwiches are a great source of nutrition?\n\nDid you know eating peanut butter sandwiches helps the American farmer from going bankrupt?\n\nDo you think people should eat peanut butter sandwiches?\n\n\nNaturally they will release their findings saying a large number of people in America believe people should eat peanut butter sandwiches and not mention the other questions in the survey.  That is why I don't put too much faith in what the surveys say.\n\nVoting ballets are nothing like surveys.  They are pretty much who do you want in position X pick one, or they are proposition so and so, yes or no.  Ballets are pretty simple.

There is no one answer to this question as it depends on the data being represented.\n\nfor example demonstrating the ditribution of a population such as percentages of ethnic minorities it might be more suitable to use a piechart as each wedge is clearly showing the amount of the whole,\n\nhowever comparing the reults of a survey it might be more suitable to use a bar chart as you may wish to be show a comparison between the results instead of as a proportion

what was said above, plus:\n\nAdvantages: can get more detailed answers, and can follow-up on responses\n\nDisadvantage:  person taking the survey can influence the results (even if inadvertantly)

I agree on the books. I have seen alot of people suggest an adults only section (I dont particularly care for that one). I would like to see the Polls and Surveys category back in action.

Of course the phrasing matters. This is why there are courses on how to ask questions fairly, and it's important that pollsters work to achieve fairness in their questions.\n\nIt certainly is possible to get a fair reading of opinions from polls. It's important that a credible firm create the questions and do the polling, one with no agenda to confirm, and to cross-validate with other information available.\n\nEven then, results will be subject to different interpretations, but they will be much more informative than polls created to deliberately prove a point.

It's a scam.  Generally, survey companies pay very little to begin with.  They give you lists of companies that may or may not ask you to participate in surveys. All they do is take your money and run.

Assessment is a matter of keen observation using a variety of strategies, techniques and tools and allowing students to demonstrate what they know in a variety of ways.  There is an excellent powerpoint presentation which you will find as the first link if you do a yahoo search for "difference between measurement and assessment".  I have attached it here, but it doesn't seem to work that way.  YOu don't need to have powerpoint on your computer to open it.  It should help you with this question.  I found it quite interesting, depsite having attended many sessions on this topic.  I hope you can find it.\n\nI have attached a few more websites that may be informative.  I hope this helps.

It depends on what content you are analyzing.  Are you analyzing survey/questionnaire responses?

If you mean a poll question for the employees of the organization, how about...\n\nOn a scale of 1-10 (1=minimum, 10=maximum) how well does this statement describe your views?\nI know what our CEO's strategy is and understand my role in executing this strategy.

The question of people who do not respond to polls has been a serious one for many years.  While statisticians attempt to get around it in many ways, it is, quite simply, an enormous issue.\n\nSuppose you're doing an exit poll at the elections, and you wear a blue shirt.  Blue being the "democratic" color, a lot of republicans might completely refuse to talk to you.  Those that do talk to you might lie, call you names, or whatever.  Meanwhile, the democrats might assume you're really cool, and try to hang out with you.  The result:  the people you could talk to probably voted democratic a lot more than the general population of voters.\n\nYou don't answer phone polls.  You probably also wouldn't talk to people doing polls at the mall, or at the ballot.  Statisticians can make a note of the fact that you don't talk to them if they ask.  They might even be able to go to the IRS, or some other organization, and find out various things about you to figure out why you don't do polls, but since you don't do polls, they cannot KNOW why you aren't talking to them.  \n\nPresumably, there's some section of the population that doesn't answer polls, but what that section is, what their beliefs and attitudes are, and how they live their life may be quite difficult to find out.  Is there one specific type of person that doesn't answer polls? are they rich? poor? white? black? Green?  Are there a few different groups that won't answer polls? or are the people who don't answer polls about the same as the average folks that do answer polls?  probably not, because the simple fact that one group answers polls, and another group does not suggests that the people who don't answer polls have different values than the people who do answer polls.  How different s a serious question, and the only way to even guess at it is to get sneaky, and search all kinds of databases to find out about people before polling them on... anything.
