We&#8217;ve got some tips to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/survey-templates\/job-stress\/\">work stress<\/a> out of your academic surveys this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep it short and specific:\u00a0<\/strong>Make sure each question brings you closer to your goal. Be compassionate of survey takers\u2019 time, and frame the questions clearly or\u00a0peruse our list of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/survey-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey templates\u00a0<\/a>for inspiration. A good rule of thumb is your survey should take no more than ten minutes to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember the audience<\/strong>:\u00a0You speak to friends differently than you speak to parents and professors. Keep your audience in mind when you\u2019re writing questions, and adjust according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/2014\/09\/25\/simple-tips-and-tools-to-find-your-target-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">target audience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do a test run:<\/strong>\u00a0Once your survey is set up, test it. Test it again!\u00a0Other people can bring fresh insight and ideas and catch embarrassing mistakes before they go out to a large audience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid weekends:\u00a0<\/strong>Best practices of email marketing apply here. The best time to send email to people is between Tuesday and Thursday during a working week. Emails sent on a Monday or Friday are likely to be put off until later, and by then you&#8217;ve lost the audience&#8217;s immediate attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Share:\u00a0<\/strong>Last, but not least, share the results with your audience and let them know what action you will take. Remember, you&#8217;re asking them to take the time to help you, and letting them know how you have benefited will make sure they are willing to help you in the future as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LEARN ABOUT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/is-there-a-best-time-to-send-out-surveys-to-get-the-highest-responses\/\">best time to send out surveys<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep\u00a0these tools on your finger tips and you\u2019ll be ready to slay the research paper dragons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s September, which means that the\u00a0dissertation\u00a0report is under way at many institutions of higher learning\u00a0across the nation.
