Tuesday, can't think of a clever lyric for this one
More dissertation. Didn't measure how long i worked, but think i wrote a decent amount. Made a lot of use of survey answers, anyway. (Having one's own data to draw on is quite satisfying!) I think mixing the types of questions worked out well - i have some good stuff from the long answers, which i can make use of right now, but the statistics will come into their own when i have a greater number of responses. (what 60% of 11 people did isn't that conclusive really...)
I can forsee problems using surveymonkey for anything more advanced than an MA, since i haven't figured out how to identify respondents. (nothing confidentiality-breaking, but you are supposed to know who they are and assign them numbers for statistical analysis and psuedonoms to attribute quotes to)
The advantage, however, is not having to do as much quantitative analysis myself, since that's my major weak point. Plus, my final question is 'would you be prepared to participate in a more detailed interview', so i've collected the email addresses of the folks who said yes. (Next task: put said interview together!)
All in all i'm in a better frame of mind than yesterday, so that helped the work along.
