I keep freaking out over this survey instrument I have to design. I'm not finding enough resources. There's so many rules and I'm scared to mess up. It is like there's a swimming pool and I'm walking around it, dipping my toes but too scared to jump into.


But I also cannot wait till the last minute. He warned us that it takes time to develop and high level of thinking. The phrase "higher thinking" is like my trigger word and so is the word creativity. At this point in college I'm looking at graduating in May and I am frightened to mess up. And that meansmy chance to move out asap is interfered with.

Anyway I have tried hard to come up with questions but there's so many things to keep in mind. It can't be a biased question or a double baralled question or a too general question or a too specific question etc. I feel like my professor did nor equip us for this. Instead he read off his notes about the do and don't anf told stories of bad experiences that ultimately scared me more. I can try going to office hours but I don't like him but my friend went to his office multiple times and said he is a different person outside the classroom, that he seems tough but he is really nice and helpful.

The survey has to be as if it will be done by telephone and it is about the student experience of going to my school. I'm supposed to choose 1-2 topics (so far I chose physical space (is that the same as infrastructure?) and amemeties as the two topics) and it has to be organized and with response choices as well as instructions and a brief segment introducing each section of the survey. The project is only to design it not to carry it out. I'm scared to start. ive made several attemots to start by writing down all my ideas so i have something to work eith but the anxiety is really high this time. Any ideas?
