2) several body sentences which develop that subject;
3) a final sentence which concludes or leads on to the next paragraph.
Research Method Used: Surveys
It should be said that one of the key research methods I used during my Bachelor’s program is
the survey method. Surveys are usually chosen for their ability to gather large amounts of data
from a diverse group of respondents in a relatively short time. To collect the data, it was
necessary to conduct a structured questionnaire, which included both closed and open-ended
questions. This method is based on the principle of obtaining self-reported information from
participants, allowing them to share their thoughts and experiences. The survey method can be
helpful in identifying trends and patterns within a population, making it an effective tool for
understanding attitudes and behaviors. Overall, surveys are useful for generating quantitative
data, which can subsequently lead to more in-depth qualitative inquiries in future research.
