Questionnaire Results

The dealine for responding to my questionnaire was today, I sent out 170 questionnaires to the whole of year 11 at my school. However, I was very disappointed to only receive 13 back and find out that all the questions hadn't been answered on some of the questionnaires. As a result of this my results aren't particularly valid but, I will work with what I have.

The results I managed to get are ok to work with as it is a preliminary exercise but, they wouldn't be sufficient if this was for my music magazine.

I have taken into consideration that sending emails to the audience I am targeting isn't going to get the number of responses i need so, I will need to think of a better method than emailing my questionnaires. Also, I need to stress the importance of the questionnaire and that it must be as accurate as possible, as I believe that some of the students didn't bother to answer some of the question as they didn't think it was important.
