Survey Results

1) Most people are interpersonal learners, where they learn better in groups. Therefore, I have decided to open a forum on my website.

2) People would like to revise with practice quizzes and tests. Therefore, I will be making quizzes and test, like on Moodle.

3) People tend to find the topic Economic Depression the most difficult to understand. Therefore, I must provide the most detailed amount of information on this topic in my website.

4)  People responded that they would like to see quizzes, notes, power points, summaries of events, games, and past papers on the revision site. I will be attempting to put on all of these tools for revision to ensure that my clients will be able to revise the material properly. 

5) Most people who took the survey said that they would like to see guidance for exam technique in the website, due to the fact that IGCSE History is very difficult and needs to be completed in a certain amount of time.
