June 27-July 8th

Sorry for the failure to write in journal.

Continuation of survey analysis, recently obtained 8 more participants, which will be pooled with the first 18 as well as kept separate. Simple observation seems to reveal a similar pattern in the two sample populations, the two most startlingly evident statistics are that the vast majority of both groups do not use any safety contract and that the vast majority have not had any formal training on the subject of science safety.

I am now proposing several modifications to the true survey, to be issued during the school year, in order to:

1. Make all questions as clear as possible. There are some questions that I believe were misleading as to whether they should be skipped if the answer is "no," or marked as "least like my situation or other."

2. Though I value qualitative data, there will be less open ended responses, especially for background questions such as "subjects taught." instead there will be a variety of choices to check all that apply.

3. The primary sorting mechanism will reduce the complexity of analysis greatly.
