Survey - what is s asurvey?

          Hi sincere readers. Recently, I was asked to do a presentation about the 'Survey', a way of collecting information from individuals. 
          Have you ever been grabbing a chair in a Philosophy class or in a public place, and a person with a load of papers in his hand comes up to you out of blue and asks if you have few minutes to talk then you will have likely been asked to take part in a survey? What's a survey? Why survey is conducted? what are types of a survey if there's any? 

What's a survey?
         Antecedently, a term 'survey' briefly means collecting the data. A survey is the method of gathering information from individuals who are called participants, because the researcher is interested in the opinions of participants about a particular topic. Eventually, it happens when a researcher asks a number of questions, all have to be relavent with the issue though,to find answers. Therefore, when we are conducting a survey, we would like to make sure we are asking questions that sill collect accurate, reliable and useful information. For instance, I want to collect an information on the quality of education in electronic device (ED) administered schools (using ED in schools are allowed) with schools where electronic device non-administered (bringing ED to school is strictly prohibited). I write questions before I conduct my study, e.g. Are you allowed to use ED during the class time? What are you using ED in class for? What if ED is restricted in school premises, would you be still be able to do similar things you were doing with ED? (e.g. instead, you could go to internet cafe if you need internet connection)

Why is survey conducted?
            Additionally, by conducting a survey you know more about the age, race, sex, ethnicity, and so on of a particular topic. Technically, in survey research, instruments that are utilized can be i
either questionnaire (structured) or an interview (non-structured). 
              Questionnaire is a series of written questions

Book Review - Don't You Forget About Me, Alexandra Potter

One of the precious book I have ever read. Glamorously, this book was suggested by her to her friend. Her friend was heartbroken and thought this book would help her get through this tough time. She gave her friend this book, at the same time she never left her. She always was at her elbow, accompanying her through her difficult times. How I got this book? Well, she didn't wanna read and asked me to lend my book to her (It's funny and embarrassing I don't remember the name of the book). Literally, I accepted the treaty XD. Glad I had agreed on switching the books. Basically, I've got some quotes to share. Don't worry, I will try not to spoil by giving eye-catching words and quotes.

First things first, you will be facing with the disease called Alzheimer's while reading. Just in case I will drop the link for you to check what Alzheimer's (difficulty in remembering, memory problem) is.

... and stand still and move on where you left off.
