Week 7 marked the beginning of the diary study. Starting on Monday, I began to conduct the initial interviews for the study - I completed 7 interviews this week with 8 more to go next week. The interviews themselves were intended to collect the user data (age, occupation, etc) as well as get the participant's baseline perceptions of the IIS's that we are interested in looking at. The participants are instructed to begin the diary study (ie filling in the web questionnaire) the day after the interview, so we are already getting some good data.
Between interviews, I have been transcribing the completed interviews. Since they are recorded, it is necessary to go back and type them all out, which can be very tedious. Transcription is definitely not my favorite task!
Next week, I will finish up the interviews and continue with transcribing. I will also begin moving the data from the database to a spreadsheet so we can analyze it more easily.
