Participate in Research on U: The Comedy of Global Warming for a free ticket to the show and an Amazon gift certificate!
The University of Alberta’s CRYSTAL Science Education Centre is conducting a study to find out what you thought of the play U: The Comedy of Global Warming. The CRYSTAL study has two parts:
1) Focus Group Research:
CRYSTAL researchers are looking for people who would like to see U: The Comedy of Global Warming, and then participate in a 1.5 hour focus group about the play. The focus group will consist of about seven people who are interested in discussing their thoughts and ideas about the play. The discussion will include questions like: What did you think of the characters in the play? What did you think of the scenario presented in the play? The discussion group will be held in a room at the University of Alberta at a time that is convenient for participants. Refreshments will be provided.
Each focus group participant will be given a free ticket to the play. They will also receive a $20 Amazon gift certificate to thank them for their participation. Please contact Grace Reid if you would like to take part in this focus group research: (780) 492-0766 or gtreid@ualberta.ca
2) Questionnaire Research:
If the focus group research is too big of a time commitment, CRYSTAL researchers are also asking people who have seen the play, to complete a two-page questionnaire on their opinions about the play. The questionnaire will ask questions like: Did you enjoy the play? Is there anything you would change about the play?
If you complete the questionnaire, you will be entered into a draw for a $60 Amazon gift certificate. If you win the draw, you will also be reimbursed for the cost of your ticket to the play. Please contact Grace Reid if you would like to take part in this questionnaire research: (780) 492-0766 or gtreid@ualberta.ca
