Project Goals and Background

• Main Goal: Create a process for conducting surveys and analyzing/visualizing the results in Chinese language classes.

Project Goals and Background

• Sub-Goals:

  • Develop a guide for using Wenjuan (问卷网), the most popular survey platform in Chinese.

  • Inform professors and students on how to write survey questions conducive to analysis and visualization.

  • Create templates for visualizing data exported from Wenjuan, ideally for students/faculty with no coding experience.

Survey Development

• Challenges:

  • Navigating Wenjuan: Chinese language and technologies.

  • Lack of experience with survey question types.

• Products:

  • Two example surveys.

  • 7-page document describing types of survey questions, how to add them to a Wenjuan survey, and what types of visualizations they can create.

Visualization Templates

• Challenges:

  • Internal Wenjuan visualizations are hard to use and offer very limited functionality.

  • Creating templates that are usable with no prior experience.

  • Ensuring templates are useful in a Chinese class environment.

• Product:

  • Visualization Template on Google Colab

Future Work

• Improving template usability, including export functionalities.

• Creating guidelines for statistical analysis of survey data and student achievement data.

Areas of Growth & Reflections

• Using Chinese in a professional capacity.

• Asking for and receiving help.

• Setting goals for each week.

• Maintaining clear communication.
