Raw data on one sheet, analysis on another
Pie Charts: good for showing comparative proportions
Bar Charts: good for showing "use of a particular software" - how many students use facebook?

Understanding The Problem
Open Question: You would not know what the person is going to say
An example of this would be "What is your favourite colour?"
Closed Question: You would have some idea of what the person is going to say. It could only be between the options provided by you.
An example of this would be " What is your favourite colour?" Pink, Blue, Orange or Green?
Surveys are much easier than Interviews
This is because surveys can be used for a large number of people and Interviews can only be subjected to a couple of people because of the time restraint in which the person is in
Good surveys have a accomadation of closed and open question
Mostly closed questions and maybe just one open question for a open response

It is an improvement out of the other one, because they can put their name down by their self according to the times that they are available
