Creating My Original Work Survey

After two weeks without school, it felt strange entering my ISM classroom on Monday morning. Over the holidays, I had created the survey for my Original Work, and I had also reached out to the director of Dallas Amputee Network, Ellen Fernandes. Because I want my survey to determine how patients feel about their prosthetics and how different suspension systems could affect their overall comfort level and satisfaction, I was really hoping that Ms. Fernandes would be able to send out this survey to the members of this local organization. She agreed to help me gather the necessary data to analyze and draw conclusions from, and I have about 20 responses so far, which is incredible! It's extremely beneficial to receive feedback directly from those individuals who use these devices, because this helps me compare opinions across age groups, different number of years of usage, and various suspension systems. I hope to get about 40 responses total, so that I will have a large enough focus group to reach a general conclusion. The rest of this week was spent writing my first Evidence of Learning, and I chose to analyze my sixth research interview for this assignment. This upcoming week, I want to schedule another mentor visit and continue to organize the survey responses I get for my Original Work, which is due on February 12th.
