Quick Whip

The "Quick Whip" is a quick and easy way to collect participants' feedback in a group. Ask a simple and direct question that participants will be comfortable answering without any preparation and do a quick 'go around' to hear their feedback. Or, ask some questions of the group that participants can respond to with a show of hands. Be prepared to record participants' responses or count shows of hands in order to quantify the feedback.
