Hey guys!

Sorry I couldn't come to class last week to hear about everyone's brilliant projects and ideas! Hope all is well! Right now I am working on my questionnaire. It turns out to be much harder than I thought it was going to be. It is really making me think about what exactly I want to ask because I need to know what data I can really use. I also need to be conscious of my wording because each of the subjects in my study will be coming from different educational backgrounds with different reading levels. I am so used to trying to write very eloquently with wide vocabulary. I am finding it hard to sort of "dumb" down my words or break it down to layman's terms, so that the women will actually understand what I am asking them. I am planning on asking 3 or 4 basic demographic questions, 6 questions using a likert scale, and four opened questions. For those of you who are like "what is a likert scale?". You've probably seen them many times before but it's the type of question where you would answer with one of the following: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. I hope to have an outline of this questionnaire finished so I can meet with my adviser within the next week or so. When she approves it, I'll put it online so that you guys can read it!
