Hello everyone, I’m a third year music production student, and I’m currently writing my dissertation. The title of my dissertation is this:
WHAT EFFECT DOES THE INTERNET HAVE ON THE PERCEIVED SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHIN THE FREE PARTY SCENE?
I need to get some primary research, in order to answer my question, so I have written up this questionnaire. I would be very, very grateful if you kind people could spare some time and fill it in for me. The questions are deliberately open, not multiple choice, so please feel free to elaborate and/or waffle on to your heart’s content – all thoughts are useful! I’m afraid I can offer no incentive for your help accept the warm glow of doing a good deed, but what’s better than that? ; ) Thanks in advance everyone!
If you would like to do the questionnaire, just copy and paste it into an email, fill it in, and send it to. John_wadders@hotmail.com. Cheers
