E. Data Gathering and Analysis Technique
The data for this research was gathered using the research instrument that was a questionnaire. Students in the late year of their study were rarely found around
the campus as most of them only have three courses during their late semester. Thus, distributing the questionnaire via online was preferable as the respondents would
be able to access the questionnaire almost anywhere and anytime. ELESP batch 2012 students were divided into six classes from A to F. Each class had its own
WhatsApp class group. To enable access to the questionnaire for all ELESP students, the link to the questionnaire was distributed via messenger WhatsApp
to each class group. Following the data gathering, the researcher analysed the data. The analysis
was started from part A of the questionnaire. There were 12 questions with 5 options for each question. The options were strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and
strongly agree. The responses of each option for each question in part A was summed up, resulting the number of respondents who chose the option. The

Feeling
QB 3 Case I II
Reason QB 2 Case I II
Preference QB 1 Case I II
31 percentages showed how the respondents perceived negative feedback. High
percentages on agree and strongly agree choices meant that negative feedback was perceived positively.
For part B of the questionnaire cases I and II, the number of responses of each option for question number one was summed and then divided by the total responses
to find out the percentage of how popular the option was. The highest percentage showed the most popular option and became the preferred negative feedback. For
question numbers 2 and 3 of questionnaire part B, the answers were recorded into table Appendices C and E. The responses were simplified. For example, one of
the respondents wrote
“Because it would give a very clear information relating to
my mistake ”. In the table, it is recorded as clear. Then, the recorded data was
summed up Appendices D and F. The data summary showed the most popular reason and feeling mentioned by the respondents.
