Question 1:Part A:Build Your Own Questionnaire! In your assignment 3, you explored and identified factors that influence adjustment issues and their impact on academic performance of university students. In this assignment, your task is to create a survey instrument (consisting of no less than 20 items) to assess various dimensions of student adjustment in the US. Before creating your survey questionnaire, Review Chapters 14 and 15 of Zikmund et al. textbook and use the Library and Information Resources Network of Westcliff University (LIRN) to find resources (including dissertations and theses) that address a similar topic.
