interview protocol / questions
Sample Population
We decided to focus on adults since we thought it would be interesting to see if the prevalence of the Mercator map has resulted in the misconceptions we are looking for. |
Interviewees
We interviewed nine adults that we found on campus and in Lansing. They were a mix of undergraduate students, PhD students, professors, MSU facilities staff, and self-employed. Most were either undergraduate students or college graduates. Some of our subjects showed the misconceptions we were looking for, but we encountered unexpected misconceptions as well. |
