In the fifth week of our class, we got more into understanding what a survey is. At first, I was confused between what a survey and a questionnaire was, but this class cleared that up. I learned that a survey is a more in depth analysis and examination of a particular topic of interest. Before asking the questions however, I learned that we should gain basic information about the people first. Like their names, age, gender, occupation, and locality. Then, We must assess the awareness of the target audience on the given topic and inquire whether or not they have a perspective or to what extent they understand this topic. There are different types of questions you can ask in a survey:
– Yes or No
-Conclusive/objective
-Options
-Range
-Rate
These different types of questions help the person conducting the survey gauge a better understanding of the topic they are researching. They can also get a more indepth analysis on a specific type of target audience. For example: High school students.

We further learned that when looking at research, there are three several types of ways you can classify these:

-Residential (Living)
-Commercial (businesses)
-Mix use ( a combination of more than one)
-Instituitional (a school, or a college)

I then went ahead and presented my presentation on Responsible Consumption and Production. I conducted a survey in my apartment building, and asked 17 of the residents living there questions regarding my survey. Below is the link to my presentation:
