Extract

The survey method of research means asking people a series of questions, and then make a conclusion from there. The conclusion of the research would be based on the answers given by the people. By using this method, the researcher could directly find out what his or her sample thinks of the situation the researcher is trying to find out. This also means that the researcher loses out in experiencing what is happening in setting because his or her results are mostly due to the samples he or she has.
