A key learning point from the assignment was that research is not one-dimensional, but in fact two-dimensional. Respondents will respond differently based on their own knowledge, and this brings two dimensions of learning. One of interests, and ones of people purely answering the responses just ‘because’.

Next time, getting more responses will be the main priority and uploading my research during the peak upload time. In my case, being early meant that no one had responded to my survey until it was shared in class. Waiting for others to also share their own surveys as well as mine would’ve made for more respondents at a better time.

Based on past research assignments, time is key, conducting a schedule everyday to work on the research does help and following a timeline will be something to continue for the next task that will be done in a research format.

What was learnt is that many people provide basic answers for the short answer sections. Therefore, the next time research will be conducted more open-ended questions will be provided, however, in a way that will be easily answered for participants of the research. This way, both parties get the answers and questions that are needed.
