- Survey
Local Businesses - This is a class assignment. We work in groups of two.
Each group is assigned
a couple letters
of the alphabet and they pick a certain number of businesses from those
letters (from the Chamber of Commerce listing). We create a cover letter
in a mail merge and enclose two surveys--one for the employees and one
for the company. We do this every two years. We also have the students
discuss and update the survey with what they
think we should ask.
We send out about 300 and get back around 75. Once we have the results,
the Excel class compiles the data and makes charts. You could make the
charts in word, but we involve more students this way. We’ve used
the data at Ed. Development meetings for the district. It is a great way
to validate what we are doing.
