What is the purpose of a survey? What are three examples of a survey and what potential purpose could each be used for?
How can one work to ensure the participants of a survey will have their responses kept private?
How can one work to ensure that information gained from a survey is unbiased?
Would planning and having ample time to conduct a survey be important? If so, why? If not, why not?
