These are our research questions, our survey questions and our interview questions for our project. We actually thought these up last Thursday, but I didn't get around to putting them up until today. I think this is good progress, but we've still got a long way to go with this project. That's understandable seeing as we only just started it, but with it being the end of the semester, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight for any class I'm taking, so why should WRT be any different?
