Strengths of Group Administered Questionnaires
Rate of Response: This second type of written survey is generally administered to a sample of respondents in a group setting, guaranteeing a high response rate.
Specificity: This type of written survey can be very versatile, allowing for a spectrum of open and closed ended types of questions and can serve a variety of specific purposes, particularly if you are trying to survey a very specific group of people.
Weaknesses of Group Administered Questionnaires
Sampling: This method requires a small sample, and as a result is not the best method for surveys that would benefit from a large sample. This method is only useful in cases that call for very specific information from specific groups.
Scheduling: Since this method requires a group of respondents to answer the survey together, this method requires a slot of time that is convenient for all respondents.
