# A4: Project Study Protocol **Deadline:** Tuesday, October 4, 2022 @ 11:59 pm PT Your assignment this week is to work with your project group to design the user study you will conduct for your course project. To do so, you will need to determine what sort of project you plan to conduct (e.g., interview, survey, experiemental study, observation study, mixed methods study, etc.) and propose a plan for handling the logistical details involved in conducting your study. You will also need to submit a first draft of all of your study protocols (e.g., interview scripts, survey questions, study conditions). ### Part 1: Study Logisitics Answer the following logisitcal questions relating to your survey: 1. What is the subject population for your user study? 2. How will you recruit participants? How many participants would you (ideally) like to recruit? 3. Describe all the procedures in which your study subjects will participate. If you are conducting an experimental study, this should include a description of your conditions. 4. What data will you record for your user study? 5. How will that data be collected or recorded? **What to submit** A file `study_logistics.txt` containing the answers to these questions. ### Part 2: Study Protocols Design a user study and submit a first draft of any study protocols (e.g., interview scripts, surveys, instructions to participants). **What to submit** A text file or pdf named `study.txt` or `study.pdf` containing your study protocols. If you are conducting a survey or using a survey as part of your study, I'd also recommend putting together a first draft of your survey on Qualtrics and sharing that survey with me directly. ### Part 3: Feedback Create a file named `feedback.txt` that answers the following questions: 1. How long did you spend on this assignment? 2. Any comments or feedback? Things you found interesting? Things you found challenging? Things you found boring? **What to submit** Your file `feedback.txt`
