Systematic survey

Systematic survey is a way of collecting information by asking questions to a group of people. To do a systematic survey, you have to decide who you want to ask the questions to and write down the questions you want to ask them. Then, you can either ask the questions in person or send them out in a survey. After you get the answers back, it's easy to look for patterns and trends in the data you get. That way, you can make decisions based on what everyone said.
