Questionnaires 6 steps for research method.Namo Kim
The document summarizes the six key steps to developing and administering an effective questionnaire: 1) Determine your questions, 2) Draft questionnaire items, 3) Sequence the items, 4) Design the questionnaire, 5) Pilot-test the questionnaire, and 6) Develop a strategy for data collection and analysis. It provides details on each step, including how to write different types of questions, organize sections, and test and distribute the questionnaire. The overall aim is to systematically gather accurate information from respondents through a standardized self-reporting tool.
Surveys are an efficient way to gather information from users. They can range from simple to complex and use closed or open-ended questions. Online survey tools make administration and analysis easier. Good survey design involves determining goals, sample size, question wording free of bias, logical flow, and testing. Analysis requires looking at trends in raw data. Reporting should include an executive summary and presentation of data. Examples show poor question wording can introduce bias or be convoluted.
The document provides guidance on designing effective questionnaires for market research. It discusses important objectives of questionnaires such as translating information needs into clear questions. It also covers best practices for question structure, wording, and format to reduce errors and encourage participation.

This document outlines the top 10 common mistakes that teachers make. Some of the key mistakes include: calling on students cold without giving them time to think; turning classes into boring PowerPoint presentations; having students work in groups without individual accountability; failing to establish the relevance of course content; and giving tests that are too long for students to reasonably complete. The document provides suggestions for better approaches, such as using active learning techniques like small group work and individual accountability for group assignments.
This document provides an agenda and instructions for Class 17 of an English writing course. It includes sections on introductions, conclusions, and sentence strategies for student essays. For introductions, it recommends starting with a scenario, statistics, historical analogy, or other engaging techniques. For conclusions, it suggests summarizing the solution and advantages, reminding readers of something special about the problem or solution, or suggesting consequences of failure. It also discusses avoiding ambiguous uses of "this" and "that" and revising sentences that lack an agent. Students are assigned to add an introduction and conclusion to their draft, check for clarity and agents, and submit a copy for next class along with a self-assessment of their blog posts.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

4. The problem:
• Your survey is hard to read, ugly,
or both. A poor visual design can
make a survey inaccessible and
unlikely to collect meaningful
results.
5. The fix:
• Create a reusable Visual Settings
style template based on your
company's official style guide.
• Share the preview or test link with
your team for review and
suggestions.
• Upload an Account Logo that’s
exactly the right size and resolution
and use it consistently across your
projects.
7. The problem:
• Open-ended responses take more
time to enter than answers to any
other question type. This can lead to
early onset survey fatigue.
8. The fix:
• Where possible, replace a Text Box
with a different question type.
• Prioritize the most important Text Box
questions.
• Ensure language is clear and
specific.
• Consider placing Text Box questions
late in the survey, after participants
have had the chance to express
themselves in more structured
answers.
10. The problem:
• Asking participants questions they
can’t answer? Somewhere between
annoying and disrespectful.
11. The fix:
• Use survey skip logic to determine
which participants are asked which
questions.
• Set the right conditions so you’re only
collecting data from those who can
provide meaningful answers.
16. The problem:
• The participant isn’t a mind-reader,
which means it’s impossible to tell if
the answers match up with the
intended question – useless.
17. The fix:
• Review your survey questions
multiple times from a critical
perspective. Then ask your critical
friends to do the same.
• Watch out for logical fallacies and
double-dips like two-part questions
that can’t be reasonably addressed
by a single answer.
18. From here, it’s up to you.
All you have to do is ask the right questions!
