Writing is a PROCESS Not a Product
Emma and I were hoping for at least 75 people to participate in our survey and the turn out is incredible. Within one week we have hit 136 people. I have been sorting through the results and there is a sad amount of obviously fake results. It decreases our drive to reach our final result … Continue reading Project 5
We started our study started on Friday 11/2. We send out the reading in the morning and responses come in throughout the day. Ava and I decided to switch back and forth on who is in charge of the spending and receiving answers. I skim over the responses so that I can tell if the … Continue reading Field Notes
In our research so far, I haven’t had many surprising or challenging moments. The only time I was a little confused was when I was testing my first person. I asked them to put headphones in and listen to music, and they asked me if there was a specific type of music they should listen … Continue reading Project 5 Field Notes
Some interesting things showed up in our data. All but one of the people that took the survey were visual learners. But also people do not enjoy eBooks as much as I thought they would. 24/31 people rated the enjoyment of eBooks at 3 or lower which surprises me because eBooks are very popular now … Continue reading Project 5 field notes

In the start we had a very slow start, just … Continue reading Project 5

Responses to our survey have been slow but we are persistent and continue to gather more and more people each day giving us a consistent flow of responders … Continue reading Project 5 (Field Notes)
Throughout our research we have used three different ways to gather data, these being surveys, interviews and observations. At this point in our research the most interesting to look at would probably be the survey. We posted our survey online in various places so there a lot of responses with varying answers as well. … Continue reading Field Notes: Online versus offline interactions
Overall, I would say our research is going as I expected it to go so far. Our goal was to get at least thirty people to take the test and I would say we are probably a little less than half of the way there, which is right on track with where we wanted to … Continue reading Field Notes

However, gathering interviews is a slower and more daunting process. The very first time we asked a couple of … Continue reading Project 5
