One Well-written Survey Question:
"On a scale of 1 to 5, how much do you agree with the following statement: Using Google Translate helps me use more diverse vocabulary in my English essays?"
(1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree)
--> Specific: It focuses on one single aspect of writing quality: vocabulary.
--> Measurable: Using a Likert scale (1–5) allows you to turn the students' feelings into data for your Quantitative analysis.
One Poorly Constructed Survey Question:
"Do you think Google Translate is fast and helps you write better essays without making many mistakes?"
--> It asks about three things at once: Is it fast? Does it help you write better? it is fast but makes many mistakes, they won't know how to answer.
-->The wording "without making many mistakes" suggests that Google Translate is already perfect, which might influence the student to say "Yes."
-->"Better essays" is too broad. It's hard to measure what "better" means to different students.
