questionnaire


            Hello, I am a student at University Centre of Peterborough and am currently taking the FdSc Engineering course. Part of this course is an academic paper on a relevant controversial topic. It would be of great help to me if you will kindly fill out this questionnaire for my research. All data will be destroyed after compiling. Thank you.
 Questionnaire

7)      If you have any comments or suggestions about this questionnaire or automation please feel free to write them below
Hello this is where I would like you to fill in the questionnaire please. It will be very handy for me if you have comments but I realise that you may not. To john Nash, hello john, if you are reading this then you have changed the colour of the font. I find this rather amusing. Please reply with formative marks on the assessment. Unfortunately blogger isn’t working on my laptop and I will have to email the documents to you, saying that I might pop in to the library and see if they have any free computers. Then I will be able to post this online.

Thank you for taking the time to fill in this questionnaire, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Research Methodology and Predictions

Research Methodology

            In order to gather information for this paper I will hand out the questionnaire included in the appendix to a random sample of 100 people. The sample will be random in order to prevent the results from being bias. I will then compile the results into graphs or pie charts and put the completed questionnaires in the appendix. I will then compare my data to other research to see if there are any similarities. I will then draw conclusions from my results.

Predictions

I believe that automation is being integrated into jobs in such a way that it is only aiding the employee so a repetitive job becomes less repetitive. I do not believe automation is reducing employment in a major way. I expect the results of my questionnaire to back this up and will be surprised if the results show anything else.
