Effective Use of Surveys in UX | Triangle UXPA WorkshopAmanda Stockwell
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love this workshop?
Ok, hopefully that is an obviously bad question, both because it hasn't happened yet and because it has some bias baked right in. But take a quick look around all the surveys floating out in the world, and they often don't seem much better. Surveys can be a powerful tool for a UX researcher, but many of us haven't learned how to get the most out of them. In this workshop we'll cover:
Best use cases for surveys (and when to avoid them)
An overview of question types
Guidelines for writing effective, unbiased survey questions
Tips to increase overall engagement and participation
Hands on practice crafting surveys
Basic survey analysis

Your perception of yourself is very complex. Similar to how you cannot see your own nose, you may often be blinded to the things that you are best at. It can be really hard to identify your brightest talents and they are often in the places you least expect. You may even be very good at things that you perceive yourself as being bad at. There are many good reasons to want to explore your talents but it's going to take a little work.
One good thing to think about was what your childhood was like. What did you do a lot as a kid? What did you enjoy? What were you known for? Sometimes this can reveal some of your deepest talents and certainly will reveal interests that can be probed further. Think about your hobbies as your personality is made by them they are the things you do regularly and your hidden talent is that which you can do better than everyone so focus on your hobbies and how you do them every single step.
• Another thing you can think about are the times in your life that you've been challenged. Think about the tough situations that you've had to deal with. Times of trial can often reveal your hidden skills. For example, when your dad had a heart attack, maybe you kept your head and called 911. Staying alert and calm in an emergency is a really useful talent.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

22. STAR METHOD
● The STAR method is a structured manner of responding to a
behavioral-based interview question by discussing the specific
situation, task, action, and result of the situation you are
describing. In other words, use the STAR method for those
prompts that ask you to provide a real-life example of how you
handled a certain kind of situation in the past (i.e., how
you behaved in the past).
● S - Situation
● T - Task
● A - Action
● R - Result
23. STAR Details
• Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your
example.
• Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
• Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
• Result: Share what outcomes your actions achieved.
24. When do you use this? Look for these clues….
Don’t worry—these questions are easy to recognize. They often have
telltale openings like:
• Tell me about a time when…
• What do you do when…
• Have you ever…
• Give me an example of…
• Describe a situation…
25. Example Questions
• Give me an example of a time you had a conflict with your
classmate.
• Tell me about a time you made a mistake in school.
• How do you handle pressure at work or school?
• Tell me about your proudest accomplishment.
• Describe a time you failed and how you dealt with it.
• Tell me about a time you went above and beyond.
26. Example Answer
● 1. Lay out the *situation or scene for the interviewer*
● Keep things concise and focus on what’s relevant to your story and
the interview question you’re answering.
● “The STAR method is meant to be simple,” Focus on just one or
two sentences for each letter of the acronym.”
● For example, imagine that the interviewer just said, “Tell me about
a time when you achieved a goal that you initially thought was out
of reach.”
Possible Answer
● “In my previous group project role, my group made the decision
to focus on increasing completed surveys for our project to make
it more substantial.
27. Example Answer
● 2. Highlight the *task.*
● You’re telling this story for a reason—because you had some sort of
important part in it. This is the part of your answer when you make
the interviewer understand exactly where you fit in.
● This is not the “action” portion of the response. However, this piece
is dedicated to giving the specifics of what your responsibilities
were in that situation, as well as any objective that was set for you,
before you dive into what you actually did.
Possible Answer
● “As a group member, my target was to increase the number of
surveys collected by at least 50% in just one month.”
28. Example Answer
● 3. Share how you took *action.*
● Now that you’ve given the interviewer a sense of what your role
was, it’s time to explain what you did. What steps did you take to
reach that goal or solve that problem?
● Resist the urge to give a vague or glossed-over answer like, “So I
worked hard on it…” or “I did some research…” – Give SPECIFICS
Possible Answer
● “I complied a list of all my social media accounts, email accounts,
and classmates list. I then contacted each one of them
individually and encouraged them to complete the survey. I
stressed the importance of the survey and how it will help my
project. I also followed up with anyone who didn’t complete the
survey after 1 week.
29. Example Answer
● 4. Discuss the *results.*
● Your time to shine and explain how YOU made a difference. This
highlights the result of your efforts. It’s the most important part.
● Remember, interviewers don’t only care about what you did—they
also want to know why it mattered. Numbers are always impactful.
Did you get great feedback on your presentation from your
teachers? What did people think?
Possible Answer
● “As a result of me contacting over 400 people on my social media
accounts and classmates, I was able to increase our completed
surveys from 140 to 400 in only ONE month—which exceeded our
goal by 20%.
