Fieldwork Assignment - Eric, Haleigh, and Nick

As of right now, we have 85 responses to our survey, and we have about 7 people we have coordinated to interview by this Sunday. We have used online interviews rather than in person interviews, as our interviewees have reported that they thought it would be easier for them to do it this way. We do not intend to request for more survey responses or any more interviews at this time, as we believe that we have enough.

Based on the information we have received, we can see that our original hypothesis appears to be correct so far; however, we will have to analyze our results more to see if this is true. We have looked at the general knowledge that the people have in comparison to whether they participated in cancer awareness events, and we also looked at personal experience. We have created several graphs and looked at the statistics as well as the responses to gather our information. Overall, we have gotten a fair amount of useful information that will be beneficial in our project.

We have created and distributed our interview questions to our interviewees, and are currently waiting for responses, and we are also doing more research behind some of the cancer awareness initiatives to see how much money they actually spend each time, and that leads us to wonder whether or not the money would be better used. We will begin the writing process this following Monday for the final presentation through Google Documents, and we plan to do our presentation through a PowerPoint.

In regards to how far in the project we have gotten, we have completed our revision of the cover letter, as well as the interviews/surveys. We have the results from the surveys/interviews. Now, we are working on the analysis of results and final conclusions. After we finish this, we will be putting together the final presentation in the PowerPoint form, and then we will complete the Personal Reflections after we complete the group presentation. We believe that we are on track as of now, and will have to work hard this following week to make sure we get everything done by Thursday.
