Final Summary/Reaction

I have completed my research and have the final results! I am very surprised to see that there is not really a correlation between a person's personality and favorite class. It was surprising to me that many people who expressed interest in sports did not consider PE to be their favorite class. In fact, of the 2 people who said their favorite class is PE, only one of them played sports! I also found it surprising that more than half of the people who took the survey expressed that their favorite class was either math or science despite many people saying that they were creative thinkers. People with all different characteristics seemed to like some of the same classes. There was no real consistency between a certain characteristic and a particular favorite class. Although my predictions may have been wrong, it was very interesting to see what many of my classmates favorite classes were and how they overall felt about school.

Revised Summary/Plan/Update

I have posted my survey  to my Facebook and Twitter. So far over 30 people have taken it. The results are not really what I expected but they are very interesting to look at. I am surprised at some of the answers. So far, unlike how I predicted, there doesn't seem to be a direct relation between a student's personality and favorite class. However, maybe when more people take it there will be more of a relationship present. I think I'm going to post my survey one more time to see if more people can take it.

Strategy/Plan For research

I've decided to change my research a little bit. Instead of focusing on peers' future college experience, I am going to focus on their present high school experience. I am curious to see if there is a relation between the type of person the student is and what class they find interesting. I will make a survey with some of the following questions- What grade are you in? What kind of extracurricular activities do you participate in? What qualities describe you? What is your favorite class? Is this class easy for you? and also Why is this your favorite class? The survey I will be making will be on Google Docs.  I will email the survey and post it on Facebook and Twitter so people will have easy access to it. The survey will also be anonymous so they will be more honest with their answers.
