Reflective writing from one Fall 2010 English 104 class, based on class activities, discussions, and readings. As E. M. Forster once said, "How can I know what I think until I see what I say?"

I asked you questions and you answered! Survey Results
I created a survey on the website Survey Monkey. I was surprised at how easy it was to create this survey and found the process problem free. I sent a mass E-mail out to my this English 104 class and was very pleased that I got 9 responses back in only one and a half days. The results of my survey will be very helpful in writing my paper, especially since my audience is my English 104 class and they will get to hear some, if not all of the results of my survey in my paper. It will be geared specifically to my audience. In my survey I asked a five questions that related to my topic of exercise and a healthy diet. When asked "Why do you exercise?" my classmates responded with 1 "health reasons", 2 "It makes me feel better.", 0 "appearance" and 6 "a mixture of all". I found this to be the result I expected because this is my personal take on why I exercise. My second question asked "Do you enjoy exercise?" I got 6 yeses and 3 nos. It surprised me that two-thirds of of the people that answered the survey exercised. I suppose that if they saw my topic and it interested them, they will be more likely to take the survey. My third question asked "What type of exercise do you do?" The options were Cardiovascular, lifting, and cardiovascular and lifting. I got 5 cardiovascular, 0 lifting, and 4 cardiovascular and lifting. My fourth question was "How many days do you exercise per week?" I got 2 zeros, 0 1-2, five 2-3, and two 3-5. This surprised me, but again, i factored in the people who saw my topic and would be more likely to take it because they had interest in it. My last question had the most surprising results. I asked "Do you think that you have a healthy and balanced diet?" I got 7 yeses and 2 nos. I assume that a lot of people in my class are juniors and seniors, and this could account for the healthier diet because they aren't having to live in the dorms, eating at the dining halls, which don't have the healthiest selection of foods. I assume that the 2 nos are from the people that don't exercise. I will reference the results I got from the survey I gave. They go along with my research question very well.
