PM class :

The PM class started with a case study to discuss which is on " comparison on learning environment in different schools"

In this session , we discussed on one of the schools and look in depth into the overall environment thru surveys. As one of our classmates clearly pointed out, this survey was given to the teachers from that schools thus it may not clearly reflect the environment of the school. I felt likewise. It is important to know what data we wanted and collect from the intented audience. Even though, the report on this school has touched on several important points that the schools needs to address if they wanted to improve.

From these 2 days' topics on survey collecting and analysis, it has shown the importance of collecting the intented data from the correct audience. Also, by studying these datas may also in certain ways help us reflect on our own environment; and the way we do things.
