The Most Effective Data Collection Method

The most effective method to be used in the proposed research is the electronic questionnaires. This is one of the most effective, fast and easy to use for the respondents. The questions to be answered by the respondent are usually provided in the software system which need to be answered. At the moment, there are no necessary processes required because one can just email the invitation which contain the research surveys to be carried out (Abgaz et al., 2018).

Some of the advantages that come with electronic questionnaires include: they are convenient in that the respondent can answer the questionnaire at their convenient time and place. As a result of this, it is easy to many comprehensive participants and also gain access to a wide group of individuals. This cannot be met with other channels that require the physical presence of the respondent. Other advantages include the automatic processing of answers provided by respondents; can reach a global population thus not limited to the geographical location; token can be enclosed in the questionnaires to motivate respondents into answering the questions provided (Giordano et al., 2018).

Responding to Lexi

It is true that the most commonly used method of data collection are questionnaires. This is due to the fact that they ensure privacy and the electronically based questionnaires can be accessed at one’s convenience. The questionnaires involve a wide range of community members. More candidates are able to gain access of what the researcher is trying to do.

Most of the questionnaires submitted on the social media platforms are assumed to be spasm and thus the response provided does not represent the targeted population for the research. Making use of the electronic questionnaires on the millennials is the best tool for the best response and quality data. Most of the millennials will be willing to participate in most of the activities online. Focusing on a socialite makes the whole electronic questionnaire enjoyable. Engaging in research with millennials is enjoyable and educative especially on the millennial generation.

Responding to Tom

Questionnaires is one of the equipment that is used by most of the researchers. The research conducted by Tom according to my own point of view was the best. The electrically based questionnaires are of great significance when compared with the physical paper questionnaires (Mazefsky et al., 2018). More time will be required to answer and sometimes bound to biasness and prejudice. The mail questionnaires are traditional methods of collecting data which do not work at the moment. There is need for more advanced ways of data collection to avoid unnecessary inconveniences which will make it difficult to have accurate data. It is important for researchers to always work toward ensuring quality in the data collected.
