Research Question:

Dependent variable question:
Do you know any Longwood student who has attended a social event with more than 50 people that were not socially distancing on or near campus this semester?
Yes
No
Maybe
Prefer not to answer
Independent Variable Question:
On a scale from 0-10, how beneficial do you think the policies Longwood enacted are at preventing the spread of COVID-19?
0 = Not at all 10 = Extremely beneficial
I chose both these questions because they are relevant to my topic and short. They are both closed ended questions. Both are very clear and avoid double-Barreled questions. I tried to pick a broader question for my independent variable. That way my dependent variable results can depend off the independent question.
The best way to practice survey research, is mainly by observing gathered data from the survey. Then take that data and compare it with the results of the populations questioned. This way you will be able to draw final conclusions on a bigger survey.
