Other Stuff

General notes on surveys:

• Try to get two surveys on a sheet to save paper.
• Give options for people to circle. You get better responses that way. It's also easier to tally.
• Make sure options provide an appropriate range of responses. 
• The "Other" option can help with this
• Have a line for names and grade. Note if these are optional.
• If people give you quotes, then you can attribute the quotes to the appropriate student 
• Keep it as short as possible. You'll get a better response rate and more accurate results.
