the survey and feedback

Monday 14 Sept, 2009
Regency College
Present: Andy, Badhi, Denise, Nabil, Sevcan, Pui, Alejandra, Peek, James, Jack

Badhi's group went to the Brunswick, Sevcan's to the Freemason's, Denise's to the Wick.

Each group spent around 90 minutes there, and interviewed staff, customers, as well as taking pictures.

Each conversation took around 5 minutes, people in the pub did not want to see the letter of introduction from the school, or want to follow up the project.

Students returned to school full of energy and excitement and exchanged their experiences of new drinks, people, and places.

I have asked them to complete a feedback questionnaire: these are the results:
