Progress Report Week 5



I am still on track with my research, except that I have not reached my desired goal of at least fifty responses yet. As a result, I have extended the period that I have it available, until the end of this weekend. Right now I have forty responses and I believe that I can pull those last ten, especially after broadcasting it through my friends on Facebook again.
The difficulty in doing my survey is my limited time, which prevents me from sitting in a booth and passing it out in a public area, such as the student center. Still, the survey has been much more successful than I honestly anticipated at the start and I have already received enough results to work with. Still more responses are desirable to reach a sample size that represents a larger look at the overall population. I honestly would like my study to represent the average American, as hard to define as that is. To achieve this, I have encouraged friends of any background to take it.
I will end the survey this Sunday and analyze the results. I will still be on pace with the plan I created for myself and next week I will be writing the rough draft, starting with the creation of my outline on Monday. I have a basic outline already, but I will polish it into a more useful skeleton for my paper’s organization at that time.
