 - avoid asking 'Why'
 - avoid phrasing
3. Recording qualitative data (Evidences)
 - Field notes (for face to face only)
 - audio record

For proper evidences
First, tell my name, where are you from for evidences.

Survey Techniques - Minimum 15 participants and 10 questions
- Follow the project scope (clients, age range etc.)
- Make sure the participants know the topics
- Keep it simple - short questions
- Be selective from the start
- Pilot the questionnaire
- Rating scales


Best practices in writing question
- Begin writing questions that are easy to answer
- Use direct and simple language in all the questions
- Do not ask double questions

Ethical Considerations
Don't force them to answer the question
Tell them its not personal
Avoid spending money
