ABSTRACT
Title : The Level of Satisfaction on Ready to Eat Products
in Sachet
Researcher : Kristle Joy M. Juan
Course : MARK 4013 Fundamentals of Research
Year : 2014
Adviser : Dr. Antonio N. Alcantara
The Problem

The main objective of the study is to know the level of satisfaction on
ready to eat products in sachet among students, faculty members, employees
and visitors of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

Research Methodology
The study utilized the descriptive survey method of research. Descriptive
research is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon
being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the
characteristics occurred. Rather it addresses the "what" question (What are the
characteristics of the population or situation being studied?) The characteristics
used to describe the situation or populations are usually some kind of categorical
scheme also known as descriptive categories. For example, the periodic table
categorizes the elements. Scientists use knowledge about the nature of
electrons, protons and neutrons to devise this categorical scheme. We now take

vi

for granted the periodic table, yet it took descriptive research to devise it.
Descriptive research generally precedes explanatory research. (Best and Kahn,
2007)
The respondents of the study were the students, faculty members,
employee and visitors of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
