Advantages 
Disadvantages

Unpredictable response rate (especially when 
given out to complete at home, or administered 
through Internet)

leave certain questions unanswered)

Summarise the activity by saying that questionnaires are practical in collecting and analyzing data. There 
are certain disadvantages of using them, therefore a researcher should use other research tools (for 
example, interviews, observations, test etc.) along with questionnaires to get valid data.
