Writing questions for surveys and interviews are very important because you want to word them in a way that they will good you good, honest information. The easiest way is to create a questionnaire which is basically just a written list of questions. An interview is just a structured conversation so you want to write your questions in that type of form as if you were to have a conversation with somebody. You want a number of open questions and not so many closed questions so the respondant can go into detail when they answer the questions.On deciding which one to use you should take this into consideration, if its a survey use a random sample and if its an interview use judgement samples. A random sample, each person in the population has an equal chance of being chosen, there is no bias views. With a judgement sample people's views seem useful. When analyzing information look for answers to your research questions, patterns, and interesting nuggets.
