14. 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.

15. 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.
