This book should be called Questionnaires for Dummies, and that is a strong endorsement, not a criticism. I find most of the Dummies books to be well written. Author Patten's step by step construction is easy to follow with many examples. The chapters and subtopics are all numbered. When she refers to previously covered information or information that will be explained in greater detail later in the book, it is very easy to find because of the number references. The first chapters cover creating questionnaires to gather various kinds of information. The middle covers sampling techniques to select respondents, and ways to test and pilot your questionnaire. The last sections cover reporting your data through tables and graphs, and explain how to determine means, medians, margins of error, and standard deviations, and when to use each methodology depending on your data. I strongly recommend this book. It identifies all of the common mistakes made by beginning researchers, and shows how to prevent them. Each chapter ends with review exercises that test your understanding of the procedures just covered.It was great resource in helping me prepare my questionnaire for my thesis.
