6/5/2025	Working with Flawed Survey Data In the real world of IR/IE, perfect survey data do not exist. Low response rates, disengaged respondents, and unrepresentative samples are common challenges that can compromise survey validity — yet these issues are often ignored. This workshop equips IR/IE professionals with strategies to analyze flawed survey data and extract meaningful insights. This workshop is primarily designed for folks who analyze survey data in Excel or R, but can benefit others. Key topics include: Detecting and managing low-effort survey responses Addressing small sample sizes, unrepresentative samples, and omitted variable bias Selecting surveys with higher likelihood of yielding valid insights Communicating data limitations to stakeholders Presenter: Steve Sherrin, Wentworth Institute of Technology Virtual Webinar --- Thursday, June 5, 2025; 10:30 AM - NOON Members - $40 Non-Members - $75 more info...
