1Our survey draft still feels weak to me, especially the questions about household spending habits.
2I agree the wording is awkward, but changing it now means we have to pilot it again.
3Surely we can pilot it with just thirty students instead of running the full trial again.
4Thirty would work, provided we keep the same age range as the main sample.
5Fine. What about question seven, where we ask people to rank five different factors?
6Ranking five is confusing, so let us reduce it to three and make the scale clearer.
7That makes sense. And should the survey stay anonymous, or do we collect emails?
8Anonymous, definitely, otherwise response rates will drop, but we can offer a prize draw.
9A draw for one hundred pounds? The budget only allows fifty, I am afraid.
10Fifty is acceptable. We can compensate with extra promotion through the student societies instead.
11Good idea. I will rewrite the introduction tonight and send you a new version tomorrow.
12Perfect. Once we agree on the final wording, we can launch it on Monday the twenty-second.
