SOCS185N: Culture And Society

When administering surveys, it's definitely difficult to balance the purpose of the research and the need for different information to be collected versus the participant's interest, time, etc.  To university feels each question is important, but if this is causing students to be bored, what factors do you think should go into reducing the number of questions?  Would it work to have a survey that has all the questions, but only randomly gives a handful to each student?  That happens in our classroom quizzes and works well.  Then, every question does get answered by some participants, but everyone doesn't have to answer every question?
