This assignment asks you to conduct original, qualitative research. You have several choices, including:
Interviews: choose at least 3 people (even better to get 5, but no need to do more than 10) to whom you will ask a predetermined set of questions (prepare about 10 open-ended questions, but know that you probably wont get to all of them). Interviews should be fairly short, about half an hour. You should ask permission to record these interviews on your phone or another device, and then it will be up to you to listen to the interviews later and transcribe relevant parts that you want to use.
