From the Paper
"One goal given the limitations of the current project would be to administer a questionnaire that assesses how students use study and motivational techniques to prepare for tests and how these relate to anxiety. "The advantages of a self-administered questionnaire over an interview survey are economy, speed, lack of interviewer bias, and the possibility of anonymity and privacy to encourage more candid responses on sensitive issues." On the other hand, there are also distinct advantages to the interview conducted with the student, since it also affords anonymity and privacy while simultaneously reducing the amount of confusion often attendant upon a questionnaire."
