Today Dr. Forsyth and I focused our efforts on editing the draft survey. The number of questions has increased to around 20 and the wording is being worked upon. Each survey will have to be presented in a precise and consistent manner so enunciation and presentation is key. This will be practiced before actual survey work commences.
In other news, on Friday I spent the day reviewing literature related to the survey and will be working to create 1pg summaries of each. This will be useful not only to individuals viewing this site, but also in application to creating a publishable scientific work. This too will occur later into the research process.
In about twenty mins. , Dr. Forsyth and I will begin what will be my second (and his first) physical survey. This will occur from the end of the Westhampton Lake to a creek (unidentifiable on my large map) to the James River. We will examine the stream I have dubbed "Orange Stink"(see Thursday's post) and the coal plant onwards, which leads South or away from campus.
