Explanation / Answer

All the ticked ones are the correct ones ticked, except common sense rules should be stated for any numerical answers.

Reasons : If the questions are misleading, then we won't get our desired information in the required fields. Hence, no questions should be misleading.

Here, there is no need to state common sense rules, since we're just asking for figures the person has observed over time. Hence, common sense rules may not be stated for any numerical answers.

Questions should be understandable by the participant of the survey so that he can answer correctly. The questions should be to the point, so that he/she doesn't need to spend a lot of time understanding the question and it should be same for all (unbiased). Thus, questions should be clear, concise and unbiased.

In case of questions regarding credit hours, one may not want others to know about their own credit hours completed. So to avoid such situations, we can design data form that can be filled without revealing his/her identity. Thus, in case of sensitive information, design a data form that can be filled anonymously.
