1Hi Marta, have you decided on a topic for the research methods project yet?

2Not really. I was thinking about online learning, but it feels too broad.

3You could narrow it down to first year students and their study habits.

4That sounds manageable. How many people would we need to interview, do you think?

5The tutor said fifteen at least, though twenty would give us stronger data.

6Let me see. Actually, a questionnaire might be easier than face to face interviews.

7True, but interviews give us richer answers. What about the librarian's suggestion?

8Oh, you mean the one about library usage? Sorry, I meant social media use.

9Either could work, but we must submit the proposal by the end of March.

10Alright, I will draft some questions tonight and send them to you tomorrow.
