Alberta's Tar Sands

I'm really not sure because I don't know how much flexibility we have. http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/qual.php

How much "funding" (in terms of our time) does Dr. Owen expect us to use?

We would have to have a trade off if we did include open-ended questions (they take more time).

I'm guessing we're supposed to stick mainly to more easily quantifiable question structures...

How would we change that question to something not open-ended?
