COMP 2000: Interview or Survey Report Assignment
To complement the work you did observing your community, you will perform either an interview or a survey with your community of study members. You do not have to complete both methods. Instead, you’ll choose the method that will best help you answer your research questions. A survey will be more appropriate if you want the opinions of a number of people. Alternatively, interviews will be important for gathering expert opinion from community members. Once you choose the method that’s most appropriate for your project, you will conduct an interview or a survey with your community members. For this assignment, you will report and analyze the results of your survey or interview to develop a deeper understanding of your community of study.
You would be doing a survey option, so you have to you should elicit responses from at least 50 people. You will need to include your survey responses as an appendix to your final report.
A background section that:
(1) Presents your research question
(2) Summarizes your interview or survey questions (what you wanted to find out from the interview or survey)
(3) States your hypotheses (what you thought you’d find out from your interview or survey)
(4) Describes your interviewees (their credentials, areas of expertise, and why they’re an appropriate source of information for the project; or, describes your survey population (who within your community did you choose to survey and why).
(5) Appendix with your interview transcript or survey responses
A methods section that includes the following:
• For interviews: Discussion of your interviewing process, including when and where you conducted the interviews, how you prepared for them, and how you decided what to ask.
• For surveys: Discussion of your surveying process, including how you wrote and revised the questions, created answer choices, structured/formatted the survey; how you distributed the survey, elicited responses, targeted a particular population; and how many responses you received, any demographic data about respondents
A results section ordered by significance and reported by theme or topic that tells readers what you discovered from your research by describing and interpreting findings. For this section, you need to summarize the results (not list each question/answer in order).
A conclusion section that:
(1) Tells readers what your interview or survey results reveal about your topic, how they build on what you found in your observation report, how they help to answer your research question, and why they are meaningful.
(2) Puts your results in a conversation with the secondary research you conducted in your annotated bibliography. How does your observation contribute to the larger discussion (be sure to reference at least 2 different sources from your observation report).
(3) Mentions any researcher or participant biases, research design flaws, oversights/missed opportunities, and/or directions for future research.
I HAVE ATTACHED 3 EXAMPLES please follow those formats, and ask any questions. Use the other assignment that you have done with same topic and integrate the same information into this as well. All 3 assignments should look integrated.
