Fatigue Survey for Master's Thesis

[Toria]

i didn't know masters thesis could be based around surveys...meh, learn something everyday.

If the results of the survey are divided into groups of data points and evaluated by statistical testing, they may be included as support for the original hypothesis of the thesis.

The issue is that this is FAR from an original topic (especially as of late), and there is probably more than enough info out there already to complete said report.

This is a hot topic, I agree, but retrospective data is not appropriate for a masters thesis because it needs to be original research, designed to support the original hypothesis of the project.

So, to the investigator: Best of Luck when you defend!

yep, that's what i meant. I didn't know you could have an informal survey as part of the data points; i thought it needed to be a little more scientific - but as to what science i dont know.

The "scientific-ness" of the study is built into the design by creating strict criteria for the respondents. There will likely be an analysis of demographic also.
