1. I would chose to do a written, drop-off survey because our proposal is a local issue, and we would get the most valuable information from people who life on campus, or spend alot of time on campus. It would give enough time to those who are in a rush, and if we gave out surveys at the dorms we could go by in a couple of days to pick up the results.

2. I would ask the interviewee's opionion of the issue before beginning the actual interview, that way i know which way they stand. I would keep track by taking notes on paper or using a recording device. I think some of the pitfalls that need to be avoided in interview people are: getting off-track, and getting the information that you are looking for.

1. I would do an online surveys for our topic because you would have a larger sample because a number of people can access it, unlike written ones which are limited to the ones you pass out in a certain area. People would also answer the question more accurately because they would do it in their free time. To secure confidentiality, I would put the survey in a secure network.

2. To encourage the interviewee to provide useful information, I would be sure to prepare questions that are relevant. I would use a tape recorder for the interview. Not allowing the interview to reach off topic and asking closed ended questions are things to avoid while interviewing somebody.

1. I would consider doing both written and online surveys. Online surveys can be distributed easily to a large number of people. They can also give more accurate answers/ results bc they are'nt under pressure for time etc. However, many people might neglect to participate or delete the email altogether. A written survey distributed and completed at that moment would guaruntee completition as long as the person agrees to participate in the first place.

2. I think its best to record interviews because not only do you get to hear the interviewees thoughts and opinions but you can hear their tone of voice and even reactions to certain questions asked. I think this information is very important and is obviously not easy to write out with just pen and paper. To encourage an interviewee to provide useful info I would ask questions in a non biassed way so that they dont feel pressured to answer according to my own opinions. It's also important to ask simple direct questions.

1.if we did a survey we would use a questionar to that we could administer on campus to many students that could be given out and done in a short time period or use an online survey as a way of getting it out to more people and we would just hoped people simpithized withour cause to get them to fill out the questionair. or we could just persuade a really pretty girl and atractive guy to help us alocate the survey in one of the malls .
2.to make an interviewee give me the information that is mist valueable to me i would ask them open ended questions directed toward the subject i was addressing. to keep track of the answers id bring a hard back note pad to record my answers. some of the pit falls you need to avoid are going off topic and or wrighting more than asking questions.

1. If I did a survey the best audience would be students, even though a survey doesnt really apply to our topic. But probably the best way of distrubuting the survey would be online.
2.If I did a interview, I would interview the admission office. I ask questions that were right to the point so I wouldnt waste their time. I would ask questions that give you both sides to the story. And I would also use a tape recorder so I wouldnt miss anything.

1. I would do an oral survey. I believe there is more strength that weaknesses stated in the website. Even though it lists the cost as a weakness, if I am performing the survey, it would cost me nothing compared to hiring someone to do it. The attitude and bias field could be overcome if I just use the same attitude towards everyone in a respectful, joyous manner. If the right attitude is not there, then the approached person will give me a bias look that maybe I am just "one of them".

2.Before the interview, I would contact the interviewee, and tell that person what my purpose and why I am interviewing him for. That way, the interviewee can narrow his mind down to one area and prepare to give bold statements instead of "uh" numerous times during the interview. I would keep track by having a tape recorder, but I would have to get it approved by the interviewee. If not, I would write in fragments. I think some pitfalls that I would need to avoid in interviewing people is that I should stay on topic instead of mixing one subject within the next.

1.I would do an online survey because i believe that it would be the best way to get the most people to do it. If you just mass sent a survey you would be sure to get some people to do it and if you sent enough out while also taking into consideration a percentage of people who would just trash it then you should be fine in the number of responses you'd get.

2.I would jut st tell them that everything was confidential and that their identity would not be given so they could feel comfortable giving honest answers. I would have a note taker, and i would be sure to have the interviewee clarify anything i wasn't sure about. The pitfalls i see are maybe wondering off topic, or having questions that are too vauge or too closed in. I can also see how an interviwer might unknowingly influence the interviewee into saying answers the interviewee might know the interviwer wants to hear.

1. If we did a survey we would probably use an oral survey from kids around campus or a written survey on campus since our problem is directly affecting students. Cost wouldnt be an issue since we would be conducting these surveys as a group.

2. If i were to interview someone and try to get the best answers Id proly just tll them im in a RHE class and am writing a paper.... I would keep track of answers by writing on a notepad with questions already on it so i can kinda of note down his anwser. That or I would take a recorder so I could listen to it again. We would just have to stay on topic and im sure the interview would be short and sweet.
