Part B: Questionnaire Piloting & Administration

Based on the questionnaires designed by all students, a final questionnaire will be developed by the unit coordinator. In pair pilot test this Final Questionnaire by administering it to ten (10) people by way of a convenience sampling technique. These people must all be over 18 years old and have previously dined in a boutique restaurant in the last six month. You can administer the questionnaire face-to-face, by telephone or online.

Once the fieldwork has been completed, in pair write a reflective report detailing:

• Your reasons for selecting the particular method of survey administration used? What were the advantages and disadvantages of using this method?

• Was the administration procedure a success i.e., did respondents understand the questions (look confused or ask questions)? was there missing data (i.e., skipped questions)? on average, how long it take for respondents to complete the survey?

• What suggestions would you make for improving the administration procedure used?

• What if any changes, would you make to the questionnaire before administering it to a larger group of respondents?

• On reflection, what were the key lessons you learnt from the survey administration process?
