Dana Lynn Driscoll, “Introduction to Primary Research: Observations, Surveys, and Interviews |
| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words |
This article talks about three steps in primary research which are observing, surveys, and interviews. For our semester long project. I have done both observations and I am preparing for the interview portion. I think however surveys are done for more extreme cases like for a large group of people. I do think these steps are important. You want to observe your target audience or study. Then if it is a large group, you can conduct a survey to ask a certain amount of people. Then the big one is the interviews in my opinion, it is a chance to sit down with someone from the organization you are researching to get further details from what you observed. |
