Good book, fits my teaching needs
Excellent text for the novice or experienced researcher
A useful textbook for helping our students with the design of their project research surveys.
Its specificity in designing surveys makes it a reference manual in this area. On the other side are needed other manuals that explain what to do with the colected data.
At last a truly comprehensive guide to the process of designing and doing surveys of all types
Invaluable resource
Designing surveys has explored the broad principles for sampling and has addressed representative sampling issues. Researchers at all levels stand to benefit from reading the areas of the book that are applicable to their survey design.
Recommended reading for any student (or tutor!) planning a survey for their research dissertations. An excellent guide.
This book helped me a lot in planning a survey based seminar.
Perfect for undergraduate students
This book offers a wealth of practical support in designing surveys. It tackles the challenges within use of surveys as well as the opportunities.
Nothing new was offered.
It is a good book looking up detailed information or explanation of survey design issues. Yet for use in the class room it is too much text based where the design of a survey is actually highly practice based
An interesting text that aids students' understanding of the complexity of survey design
easy to follow text
A gem of a book; really useful and nothing else on the market that does such a specific job.
Helpful diagrams such as the one showing the stages in designing and using a survey
Useful for beginners, particularly the first few chapters, and for more advanced researchers, to refine their technique
Addresses the use of social media, but possibly more on this growth area would be useful
A little more on the ethical issues of using surveys would also have been helpful
Surveys are common method of data collection for nursing research therefore Designing Survey provides an adequate coverage and depth of the topic.
Great little book, comprehensive information. The decision making aspect is excellent for students
This is very good book for those who want to design survey. It is a practical guide to the whole survey research process. It also gives very good reference to further and more in-depth reading around each topic.

This is great stuff! In a ntshell we have a higly readable book that is both a reference text and a cook book for junior and experienced researchers. Ideal for research courses/modules with few contact hours and a lot of self-study.
An excellent book for people preparing surveys. This book would in some ways have been 'overkill' for many of the learners on our Access To HE course, however I would happily have recommended it to the class as a reference book. The table on p191 alone would have been so beneficial!
Sadly, we no longer run the Access to HE course at the college. Consequently I'm not in a position to promote the book.
