I learned a lot about research design during the Research Methods course...I learned about designs and methods for qualitative research and quantitative research and lots more. I had lots of practice throughout the course. In my final proposal (signature assignment), I designed a mixed methods study on the performance and job satisfaction impacts of employee monitoring for hand hygiene compliance.

Design and Data Quality
While working on a paper for the Research Methods course, I stumbled upon a journal article on the inaccuracies and errors that can occur because of survey design -
similar issues I discussed in my article on UI design and data quality.
The article I found:
The Impact of Visual Design and Response Formats on Data Quality in a Web Survey of MOOC students
