Observation
Observation is the process of observing somebody to complete a task with the intention of giving feedback. The observee can give the observer targets for them to look out for and feedback on strengths and areas for improvement.
Questionnaire
Questionnaires are sets of written questions with optional answers completed by the respondent checking a box. They were traditionally printed and handed out or mailed in the post but are increasingly being sent out electronically due to developments in software such as Surveymonkey and Google Forms.
