You can also Google "survey question types" for more ideas. 

 

When you return from your sea experience you might have more ideas for asking each other their opinions on what parts of the experience were most useful, enjoyable, difficult, boring, etc.  You can also ask opinions about aspects of life in the UAE, or how that life differs from what you are experiencing now.

 

Your teacher has tried to model some good survey techniques; for example:

 

Topic: Students' opinions about Prezi

What I would like to LEARN in this survey 

In this survey, I want to learn how the students liked using Prezi, how difficult it was for them, how useful it was, if they liked the mind-map approach, how they compare it to PowerPoint, and whether they think it is useful to other students. 

 

Here is another example of a survey topic -

Strengths and Weaknesses of Academic Composition and Communication courses

 

What I would like to LEARN in this survey

In this survey I want to find out from the students which parts of their Academic composition and communication courses are most useful to them.
