Dear Field Supervisors and Enumerators, This is practice. Please pretend you are a Supervisor and you have just been handed a questionnaire by one of the Enumerators in your group. It is up to you to make sense of what has been completed by finding the mistakes and making corrections. Be the Detective! Hint: The number of corrections needed on each page will appear in the bottom left-hand corner of each page. Not all pages were printed for this exercise. I hope you find this a beneficial exercise. The answer copy can be found on that NASDA website near where you found this.
Sincerely, Kyle Nelson Agricultural Statistician Northern Plains RFO
