For this mandatory peer review assignment you are going to write your own moderator guide. Suppose that you are going to moderate a focus group on our business case scenario, a smartphone company looking to develop a new phone priced at the high end of the market. The company would like to build market share in this fast-moving and fiercely competitive space by addressing affluent consumer’s needs and wants with every new device release. You want to discover what features the target market values most. The client is also seeking answers to the questions, "What are the barriers or objections to purchase our product?" "What are the best responses to those barriers or objections." Preparing your moderator guide allows you to write what you will say to open the meeting, plan the questions you intend to ask in advance, and how to conclude your meeting without forgetting anything important. This gives you the chance to make sure that you include all the essential parts and that your questions meet all the criteria for good qualitative research.Remember, the purpose of this document is to guide the moderator (such as yourself) through a focus group meeting. It should include all essential components covered in the video lesson, “Designing a Moderator Guide” found in Module 2. These include: Welcome/Introduction to the Focus GroupBrief Synopsis of ResearchExplanation of RulesConfidentiality SectionGroup Introductions of ParticipantsGeneral Discussion QuestionsProbes or Follow-up Questions (after each General Question)Concluding Remarks / Wrap-up.You had a previous practice activity to lay out the headings for the moderator guide sections. Now, you will fill in the sections under those headings in keeping with the video lesson, "Designing a Moderator Guide." The questions that are part of the body of your moderator guide should be in keeping with the video lesson, "Assessing Questions by Topics and Sequence" in Module 2. Your goal is to write each section according to the criteria in the video lessons. You can write it in your own style, but be sure to include every part for each section described in the lessons.

Following the advice in the video lessons, write your own content within those heading to accomplish the intended purpose of each section. For example, one of the essential sections is Rules. So, you would write what you plan to say to your focus group participants about the ground rules for your focus group meeting. Since these are not standardized, you can make the rules are whatever you like within the general description of five areas of rules to cover as stated in the video lesson. Here is a sample someone might write for that Rules Section of the moderator guide:"The rules for our time together are simple. 1. Everyone's opinion is valued, so we will listen respectfully to all participants.2. No cross talk; when one person is talking, wait until they are finished to speak up.3. Please use the facilities before we begin. If you do need to leave the room, please do so without distracting from the ongoing conversation. 4. Please turn off your cellphone. Even though that is what we are researching, we don't want calls to interrupt our time together. 5. Feel free to eat and drink during our meeting, but please get your refreshments before we start so that you are not getting up and down during our conversation." Use your own words to fulfill the purpose of each section of the moderator guide for a focus group on the topic of our course business case scenario about cellphones. Proofread and edit your submission to correct any spelling or punctuation errors. You may use an online proofreading app to ensure a professional looking document. Your spelling and grammar will not be graded, but it's good to get in the habit of editing your work to professionally accepted standards.
