Case Study #1
 
You plan to measure the attitudes of students regarding computer availability at UWSP.  To do this, you have developed a questionnaire but you are not sure if the questions will be interpreted as you intend. To test this, you decide to do a test run (pilot study) using the questionnaire on a few students to see if you need to do any revisions before you actually collect your data.  You run this pilot study and discover that your original questionnaire does in fact need revision.  Once you have made the revision, you submit your research protocol to the IRB for approval.
