Findings Under Construction

Suffolk Construction across from the DOER

Much like the building being constructed across from us, our findings are still under construction. Even though we are still working on collecting results, we are building up to recommendations for the DOER.

Our sponsor and advisor meeting today really helped us bring all of our findings together. For the meeting, we brought our findings for everyone to look over. Throughout the meeting, we were thinking about how to present our findings, both on paper and in our presentation. We realized that in order to make sure our findings are valid to the audience, we need more quotes and data to back them up. Our report will be useless if our audience doesn't believe our findings are valid.

On paper, we were very concerned with APA formatting. However, Professor VG told us that we could break the format for this chapter.

We also narrowed down exactly what our sponsors want as a deliverable. The DOER deliverable will include: Overview, Findings, & Recommendations. We figured out that this would not require any additional writing; we just need an executive summary of our intro, background & methods, our condensed Findings along with individual respondent summaries and our recommendations. All of these will be included in our final paper anyways.

We are looking forward to extracting more findings from our results and presenting them to our sponsors and advisors.
