My survey was conducted based on peoples' knowledge on the U.S. Patriot Act. Mainly, I was dissappointed with my results because many people didn't even know what the Patriot Act was. I feel strongly that everyone should be educated on this matter, and the majority of the people who took it weren't. Also, a large amount of the people who completed the survey were in my age group (18-20). This supports my idea that young people have no interest in politics and low involvement in governmental affairs. People often left the open ended questions blank, or gave very short, vague answers. If I were to change some questions, I would probably try to include some information about the Patriot Act to help people answer them to the fullest extent. This survey helped to show me that little information has been provided to students about the Patriot Act and how it impacts the way we live.
Below is one of the questions from my survey. I asked if people felt that they were adequately educated on the subject. Unsurprisingly, 60% answered no.
I wish you'd shared a little more on how you liked the actual survey process. Personally I thought it was interesting and a useful tool for the future. But other than that I think this is excellent! You clearly state your results, disappointments, and what you would fix, and it doesn't leave the reader confused at all. Great job.
