I was under the impression that a survey could only have close-ended option which sucks because I really wanted to have more detailed and personal answers so I'll definitely turn some of the question into open-ended ones. Oh and sorry for my focus questions I didn't clarify that I'm still trying to pick out which ones cause I thought that focus questions should be like the headings for your pip? .. sorry I'm really lost  :'(
Oh and for my focus group I planned on having 2-3 people for it.
I don't really know what should be in my PIP like what makes up a whole pip..  :'(

Focus questions/answers can be headings for your PIP but are not just limited to being headings. Use them as evidence to prove/disprove your points :)

Having 2-3 people for your focus group is completely fine! It is recommended to have 2-8 people in each focus group. However, the less people you have the less transcript/s you have to do. But this also means for less answers. The more you have, the more diverse answers you will have. Check out this guide for further help with your primary research methods ;)

Check out this quick guide on what each part of the PIP involves!

Essentially your PIP should be structured like this:

- Title Page
- Table of contents
- Introduction (500 words)
- Log (500 words)
- Chapter 1
- Chapter 2
- Chapter 3
- Chapter 4 (optional)
- Conclusion (500 words)
- Resource List
- Appendix

Your chapters should add up to 2500-4000 words! All the chapters don't need to have an equal amount of words. It's fine to have 7 pages for Chapter 1 and 2 pages for your Chapter 3 (which was what I did). How you structure your chapters should be like a mini essay but without the conclusion. Well technically you can have a conclusion at the end of each chapter but this eats up your word count. Your footnotes should be sprinkled throughout your PIP.

Thanks so much Mada438 and Beatroot, your comments were very useful :)

What style of referencing should we be doing for the PIP? I was told footnotes are expected but is there a certain format (APA, Harvard etc.) that's recommended?  :)

I've never seen anything that says you need to do a SPECIIFIC style (but don't quote me 100% on this). However, I'd probably use Harvard (probably the most recconmend) or maybe even APA

Thanks once again for coming to the rescue! I've been referencing APA for the last two years so I'll go with that unless suggested otherwise  :) :D
