Since my research paper topic is deals with college freshmen, I thought there was nothing better than to ask college freshmen. Obviously. So I decided to send a questionaire to 100 of my facebook friends all at different colleges asking them about the challenges they face. I really enjoyed conducting a survey and getting real life results. The only bad thing was having to sort out Facebook messages non-stop and keeping up with which ones I had already recorded. Overall I really liked this method of information and I will probably use it more often, when it can. Anyways, to anyone doing a research paper, I'd reccomend a survey! : ) Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Facebook Messages Galore.

Using Facebook was such a good idea. I really like the topic that you decided to do for your research paper. I bet that some of the answers that you got back from your survey were pretty humerous!
ReplyDeleteI was planning on doing a survey, but as I really started finishing my paper, I realized I already had enough data for my thesis. I hope I get to hear about your results in class, it would be interesting to see your feedback and how you used Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea using facebook like that. It seems like it would be a lot of work sorting through the multitudes of facebook messages but I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I agree with Stephanie I can only imagine the amount of strange responses you got.
