Drama Paper:
We are seeing "The Winter's Tale" instead of having a class session, so go to the play in Jersey City for next week's class. Try to be there 15" early so you do not walk in after the play has started. The play starts at 3p.m. on April 13.
The writing assignment will be posted here, mailed to you, and distributed at the play.
Read the remaining drama terms so you will recognize them when they happen in the play. In addition, we will do terms Q-Z at the next class.
The writing assignment will be due at the following class, April 20.

Market research survey comments:

Jazzmin:

The program numbers for you, so you can take out your number.

1. I think that will depend on the product. How about rewriting it to read it within the context of what your product or service is. 

5. How about "member of the opposite sex" or "romantic interest"

6. Don't need to cap "bathroom"

Cydney:

I would group 1 & 2 with the demographic questions at the end.

Stop 'n Shop

Dominique:

I would get rid of Q. 10 and just give the survey to women.

Ask them if they have ever heard of "cold cream."

Timothy
