That is now illegal in Utah, do your subjects know that? Do they know that recent research indicates they are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident if the text while behind the wheel? Have they been cited by law enforcement for texting or distracted driving? Example 2. Do they use drugs of any kind? If so, what kinds (e.g., marijuana, meth, etc)? Do they believe it has an impact on their schoolwork? Etc.... Remember, You may choose any topic you are interested in. You MUST ask at least 5 (five) questions regarding your topic. ***DO NOT use the bulk mail function within the course to complete this survey assignment using your classmates!! There is limited storage space within the system and that will cause problems. You may survey co-workers, use your facebook page, Survey Monkey, or other social networking sites. However, do NOT identify your subjects in any way, that is a violation of research ethics. You may simply state "I surveyed 45 people via facebook" and asked them............. Do NOT EVER list or disclose the names or other personal information of those folks who respond to your survey. That is a serious research ethics violation. Your respondents must remain anonymous.
