back for the 2nd year...

Hi everyone :) It has been a while since i've updated my blog but i'm sure it won't take me too long to get back into the habit of letting you know what i've been up to in my lectures.
Thursday's session with Sarah introduced me to the module 'Applied Media Research', which is basically what it says on the tin! We began the lecture by being informed of what the module was going to involve and mainly focused on 'quantitative research' in the session. I have had very good experience of collecting quantitative data in lower education, therefore i knew the task Sarah was going to set wasn't going to be much of a struggle.
We were given the task of forming a questionnaire that was based on the question 'What is the best way to market a degree to potential students?' At first, me and my two peers struggled to think of questions to involve in our questionnaire as we didn't fully understand the question we were given, until Sarah gave us examples of what we could ask.

It wasn't long before i started jotting down a range of scale rating questions such as 'the media affects/influences my degree choice' and 'the achievements of lecturers influence my degree choice'. Eventually i typed up the questionnaire which would in turn collect quantitative data in the following session.
I shall provide you with more detail of the answers people gave in our questionnaire in a few days, so stay tuned! :)
