I have found data collection to be a fairly good experience in my field study. I have collected my data through surveys from colleagues of other schools, informal interviews throughout my TOCing and now at my current school among both staff and students, as well as notes that I have made at the end of my days, based on what I had observed. I am still in the process of collecting some data, but it has been a good experience thus far. I have found people to be honest and helpful towards my questions.
