Focus group Invitation/consent form
INVITATION
As you may know the Psychology Department of UNISA (subdivision MARC) has determined that their policy for special leave was not appropriate based on experiences in previous years. They have asked the Ladies’ Power Research Institute cc. (LPRI) to assist them to develop a new policy that addresses both institutional expectations and the needs of the individual students
In order to for us to understand the situation in greater detail we would like to ask all students who are a part of the MARC programme, to take part in a focus group to discuss common issues. A focus group including management will also be conducted at a separate venue at a later stage. For now we would like to have your input. Your participation, opinions and views are very important in helping to formulate a new policy which will ultimately impact you directly.
The focus group will take place from 2.30 to 3:30 on Tuesday 6th February 2018 in Room 5-174 in the Theo Van Wyk Building on main campus at UNISA. Refreshments will be provided.
Participation is voluntary. Any information obtained through this focus group will solely be used for research processes and will not be attributed to any individual participant. To confirm your attendance, please complete the form below which provides your consent to participate in the focus group and forward it to chris@ireality.co.za or fax (012) 6676064.
