<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">HOW TO WRITE A GOOD SURVEY <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">The goal for writing a good survey is to write short and straightforward questions that each person can read in the same way. You can only make a good questionnaire if you do careful writing, editing, review, and rewriting. There are guidelines to conduct a good survey Some of them are: <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Write a short questionnaire, a questionnaire should be as short as possible, if the question is unnecessary, remove it <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Use simple words, some survey recipients may have different backgrounds, so use simple language <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Relax your grammar, don’t make it sound too formal, for example instead of using the technical word of whom, use who <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Assure a common understanding, write questions that everyone will understand, not everyone having that same understanding of the facts <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Start with interesting questions, make the question attractive to get the get the respondent’s attention <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Don’t write leading question, a leading question is a question that it’s already suggesting the answer <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Don’t make the list of choices too long, it is difficult to evaluate a long and unfamiliar list of answer categories <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Avoid difficult concepts, some questions have difficult concept which would be too hard too hard to understand for some people <span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · Avoid difficult recall questions

Black Hat: The weaknesses of this is our presentation we couldn't explain about our topic very well i think some of the audiences didn't get what we trying to explain.

Green Hat: We think the only way to sovle this out is to improve our communication and speak with a much more confident voice so the audience can hear the explaination clearly.

White Hat: we ddint get through the kid on the day we visit, what we done is some basic lesson. If we fgot more time we would go through alot more stuff. Blue Hat: What we would do next is probably to make a lesson and visit more often like once a week and create some thing that is fun for the kids. ============================================================
