The research project in this class will be to prepare, analyze, and report a media journal of your habits over a 7-to-10 day period. Review the PPT in the Shared Folder for more information as well.
The common problem statement for this project is, “Despite a plentiful source of communication channels and messages, people report issues with effective communication. One reason for this may be that people use communication incorrectly or inefficiently. Perhaps a study to determine how each mass communication channel is used will provide information to correct this problem.”
The common purpose statement for this project is, “The purpose of this participant-observer study is to explore personal media use habits and the time spent using each channel.”
Sample: Personal habits, collected over a 10-day period, using an Excel sheet with manual input.
