What Went Well..

• The data I collected was fast and it was fairly cheap it did not take that much time to create, it was also fairly simple to give out to people.

• As all of the data has been quantitive, it can be used to compare and contrast with data that has been collected from the rest of my group members.

• It has a high level of validity because as it is anonymous people will not have to lie about there feelings.

Even Better If... • Although it was anonymous there is no way to tell how

truthful a respondent is being.• There is no way of telling how much thought a

respondent has put in, they may have just rushed it.• The data received is only quantitive and not qualitive this

means that the data will only show what the researcher is wanting to find out, rapport (a good relationship) can not be built with the people who participated in my questionnaire.
