A data collection questionnaire will be available on LMS. If the students are willing to undertake a data collection task they will need to collect data
from informants with characteristics identified in the Questionnaire.
The questionnaires are to be submitted to the course lecturer on the day of the Final exam and the students will get 0.5 points for each authentic
questionnaire. If the instructor realises that the data presented in any of the data collection tools are fabricated by the students, the students will
not get any points for these particular questionnaires.
