Need help - again

[prowler_pilot]

So, the Erasmus students thing was a complete disaster. Only two people showed up, and that's obviously not enough for a research. As I can't write on my paper's conclusions that 'students are dickheads', I'll need to to find an alternative way to get my data.

(I'm presenting this at a conference, my abstract says explicitly that there will be survey results so there's no changing part of my research now)

So, I was brainstorming with my advisor on e-mail and LJ came up. I'd rather be there to monitor participants, but as we think about a different solution I might as well test the waters here.

The survey involves watching two videos and answering a few questions about it, including two fill-the-gaps exercises. With yesterday's kids it took about a half hour, most of the time goes watching the videos. If you'd be willing to help (but only if you're sure you have the time for it) drop me a comment.


I wish I could say this is the last time I do research with actual people, but I'm a damn sociolinguist *headdesk*

I'd be willing to help - I have plenty of free time at the moment :)

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thank you so much!!! I'll get back to you as soon as my prof gives me the go ahead!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you could give me a mail address I'll send you the material! (survey to fill in, links to the video, and - small - audio files)

[teryl-brat42.livejournal.com]

I can do it, but I have drill this weekend and won't have time until Monday night.

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

It's okay, as it's not really urgent. If you could do it next week it would still be awesome!

[teryl-brat42.livejournal.com]

Consider it done! I'm an excellent experiment specimen. I've been used for many things!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Haha, you should make a job out of it!! Thank you again!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Can I have your e-mail (you can PM it to me)? So I can send all the stuff ;)

[teryl-brat42.livejournal.com]

it's my LJ username at yahoo

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Survey sent, thanks! :D

[teryl-brat42.livejournal.com]

I never got it, just so you know.

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

I'll try a different e-mail address, thank you for telling me!

[teryl-brat42.livejournal.com]

I got it!!!! TY!

I'm all about helping out with research, since I've once felt the pain ^^

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks!! Working with actual people is always a pain, unless they are friends or you can threaten them :P

Can I have your e-mail to send the survey?

[lastingdreams8.livejournal.com]

Doh me! My email is lastingdreams8@gmail.com :)

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! Survey sent ;)

LJ was such a huge help to me when I was writing my master's thesis, so I'd like to return the favor- but am I disqualified being a native English speaker?

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

What would researchers do without LJ! It's perfectly okay if you are a native speaker, I'd like to have both perspectives!

Can I have an e-mail I can send the survey to? (you can PM it to me)

[georgierae.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to be a research subject!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

That's awesome, thank you!! Just write (here or on a PM) an e-mail address and I'll send you the survey with the instructions!

Do you have a time limit on this? I'll try to get it done in the next couple of days.

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I have a limit but it's not immediate, so you don't need to rush :) I'm sending it in a few minutes, please tell me if you get it as another flister did not receive it from my university address.

[georgierae.livejournal.com]

It's in my inbox :)

I'll take a shot at it tomorrow anyway, since I'm not working!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you very much!!

[fex-84.livejournal.com]

Send it away Vale! I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do it during the week end, would that be okay for you? Or will it be too late? Otherwise I can try and do it sooner but it really depends on my job.
*huggles*

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks!! Can I have your email address? Of course you can do it on the week-end, it's not too late, as I'm still looking for more participants :)

Thanks! *hugs*

[fex-84.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I thought you had it. Sending it by pm right away!

[valeria-sg-1.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Now that I see it I totally remember it :P
