Before today, did you budget money to spend for food each month?
Frequency scale. Sometimes is the mid-point in the scale. If you said always, almost always, most of the time, just about always, and never, you would have an unbalanced scale. These frequencies lean toward a positive response on budgeting money.

Before /after questionsParticipants may not accurately assess their pre-program knowledge or behaviors. Then, at the end of the program, their new understanding of the program content may affect their response on the post self-assessment. They are actually responding based on two different frames of reference.Example on handout.

You decide! Food kept frozen at
0 degrees F is still safe to eat. However, it may not taste as good.
To assure best flavor, prepare and serve a frozen turkey within a year.

Writing Questions Decide if you are after process (how’s it
going) or content (have you learned anything)
Only ask what you need to ask◦ Survey fatigue
Only one question at a time—no “double-barrell” (Do you like to eat fruits and vegetables? Do you volunteer in a local, state, or national 4-H effort?)
Consider literacy levels◦ Advantages of clickers
Test your questions: Can be simple—say them out loud to yourself, to others. Have your neighbor read them.
Watch out for bias and leading questions:◦ Do you think agriculture in Maryland is considered
as important as it should be? How do you feel about the inadequate funding for University of Maryland Extension?
