Enclosure:301 Shuge Luo Interview And Survey (2)
Hello Shuge,
Thank you for posting your Progress Report. There are a couple of issues with the survey. The introduction needs correction. Please just include the word voluntary. There is no need to tell participants that they do not need to answer personal questions – is there a reason to ask the personal questions? At any rate, including the word voluntary is the correct way to frame the introduction to the survey.
I am a little confused about the “test” for your interviewees? Why not just use surveys and ask the questions?
Let me know via an email – thank you.
