The survey results showed that people normally don’t like being completely truthful with the questions, for example, all questions that asked if the site was helpful were, for the most part, replied with as “No comment”, as if to say they didn’t want to offend who the survey was directed for.

Unfortunately some questions should have had more answers because most were replied with as “No comment”, maybe implying that the answer they wanted to give wasn’t the others.

Definitely change the amount of answers that were on each question, aswell as change some of the questions, some of them seemed to be redundant and it would have been better to put more thought into them.

Collaborative writing with Wikis can be fun and aslong as everyone gets along and doesn’t try to dominate the group it’s fine, but when people start re-writing everything that you’ve previously written without your consent it can get a bit frustrating.

Online surveys are quick and easy, also don’t require any input from the client, eg: a phone survey, one of their disadvantages is with say a multiple choice survey some of the answers the surveyer may want to give might not be what they truly mean and can’t elaborate on their answer.
