OVERVIEW

You cannot manage what you cannot measure. It is an old saying in business sciences. We will try to develop, thanks to theory, examples and project works, the essential skill in the measurement process, useful for evaluating science, health and technology.
Starting from scratch, we will work on the methodology and practice to build a “good” questionnaire, on how to integrate different sources, collect data and eventually analyse and present the results.
