The how

The Student Communications Survey tracks the evolution of student communication preferences over time, using anchor questions from the previous versions. 

The survey was administered to a stratified random sample of the student population at UWaterloo, including graduate and undergraduate students, international and domestic students, and each of the six faculties. Students were invited to participate in the online survey using a personalized link sent via email invitation and reminder emails.

The final survey sample included 556 respondents, a representative sample of the student population.
