We are currently doing alright with the fieldwork project. We have gotten about 100 responses to our survey. We put the survey on as many Facebook groups we could. We would like to get maybe a few more results, but we are pretty satisfied with what we have right now.  We have had some time to analyze our results but not a lot. We plan on individually analyzing the results and then coming together as a group to discuss what each of us concluded.  From there we plan on picking and choosing good point and thoughts that each member had and combining it into our final analysis. From what we have so far, most people who have responded exercise in some form, and have a decent to excellent average GPA (around a 3.2). We are currently having the discussion whether the exercise effects peoples GPA, or if people are smart, get good GPA’s, and exercise to keep their bodies healthy; this is going to a major debate because finding correlation is relatively easy but showing causation is much harder. We are also planning to reach out to someone who works at the gym to see what they think about the importance of exercise in student’s grades. We will try to get a manager or someone who has been working there for a couple of years. We hope they will be able to tell us about their experiences while working at Virginia Tech. They may be able to help determine if our results are accurate with what we have found.  In our last meeting we divided up all of the remaining work for our project and plan to collaborate a couple times in the upcoming week to put it all together and finalize everything.  We also plan on practicing our presentation so that we know who is talking about each part.
