Asch's conformity study has many strengths.
Firstly, it was a highly controlled experimental set-up. There was a control group and a group with other people, meaning that any major difference in results is only going to be due to that one change.
Secondly, unlike Sherif's study, there was an objectively true answer to the questions given. This answer was also easy to find, with only 0.7% errors being made in the control case. That means that any mistakes in the group setting will be a measure of raw conformity.
Finally, the participants were asked after the experiment why they conformed. This gave the experimenters some ideas as to why people conformed, not just the fact that they did.
what is the strengths and weaknesses of sequential study
The Sherif study demonstrated the concept of social norms and group influence on individual behavior. It showed how people conform to group pressure and develop social norms within a group setting. The study also highlighted the importance of intergroup relations and conflict resolution.
The methodological strengths and weaknesses would depend on the type of study in question. You should use experiments, surveys and ethnographie's when doing your study.
Speaking about the strengths of a student is an uncommon question. Good grades, study habits and diligence are some answers describing the strengths of a student.

Caused conformity rates to go DOWN
The Solomon Asch study found that individuals are likely to conform to a group's opinion even when they know it is incorrect, due to social pressure to fit in. This revealed the power of social influence and the importance of individual independence in resisting conformity.
Strengths: Provides in-depth examination of a specific case, allows for detailed analysis of complex phenomena, useful for generating hypotheses for further research. Weaknesses: Limited generalizability to broader populations, potential for bias in data collection and interpretation, can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Declaration of Conformity was created in 1996.
Corrosion of Conformity was created in 1982.
