Journal #11 Brian Kevin Richard Brandon


Our fieldwork project is coming along very nicely. The latest thing we did was adjust out survey question so that we could get some more detailed information from our subjects. We've added several demographic questions as well as questions geared more toward professors and their habits dealing with technology and procrastination. Our survey seemed to be student-centered so we had to broaden some questions so that we could incorporate a larger audience.
The feedbacks we have gotten from our study have been very beneficial. We, individually, have gotten some sufficient information that we could take forward in our study. We have gotten information from a nice balance between males and females as well as a wide range of races and majors. The balance of the type of people we have found is equally matched by the variation in results of the estimation of how much people procrastinate and how they feel that they are affected by the use of technology in their daily lives.
Seeing as we have not compiled our data but have simply told each other a few of our findings, it is hard for us to start to come to any conclusions about all of the information that we have collected. Our next step would probably be to meet as a group and discuss all of our separate findings so that we may move forward with our study. We will take time to thoroughly review the data and analyze it to make valid conclusions about our fieldwork project. From the way that all of our studies seem to be going, it seems as though a lot of people regularly engage in technologies of a wide range. Also, it seems like a sufficient majority of the people do procrastinate when using said technology. That is just a vague estimation of the final results of our fieldwork study, but we will continue to gather information then meet to discuss all of our results so that we can make more concrete conclusions.
