I found this whole survey process quite easy. Setting it up was simple and effortless and Facebook was a great help in distributing it.
In my results, I was interested to find that most students are pretty health conscious. A fair majority is not completely satisfied with their school’s current food options, and they seem to be pretty knowledgeable about what they should be eating like natural sugars, fiber, fruits, vegetables, ect. However one of the main things that kept coming up was the fact that even though some schools do have healthy options available, they are never as appealing because they 1) don’t look fresh at all 2) are way overpriced. Clearly it is easier and more appealing to go with the unhealthy/greasy cafeteria route even though students are trying to improve their lives. The most disappointing part was realizing how much time students spend on their computers. This is even worse because most claim a huge chunk of that time is doing school work that is keeping them sedentary.
If I had to do this survey process all over again I would alter the way some of my questions are set up. I made a few questions mandatory to answer but it didn’t make sense because it was aimed at only a certain group of people. Also I would have expanded the variety of questions I asked since most of mine are similar in content.

I enjoyed reading your survey blog. The one thing that I would suggest that you could have done in your explanation is to inform your readers as to who actually took the survey, ie, what students are you referring to. Are they elementary, middle, high or college students.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with your finding statement, "A fair majority is not completely satisfied with their school’s current food options,"because I have heard this many times from some of my own students.
Glad it went well.
