Hey all, to recap I will be creating a survey to use for my data collection. This is the questions that I have thought to put into the survey. I was wondering if anyone had any constructive criticism or any suggestions for good questions that would also fit with the theme of my survey. I would greatly appreciate any input you guys can provide, thank you! (Later on I will be sending out the survey to the class, so don't worry about answering at this point.)
