IIUM Bloggers

Assalamualaikum W.B.T.

To all IIUM Bloggers, how was your holiday? Salam Eid Mubarak and Maaf Zahir Batin. Hopefully you had a great time with your friends and family members. Actually, this is my first time publishing an entry for IIUMBloggers.com. Well, if the admin did not delete my account at the first place, this might be not my first post. XD Hehe… Kidding.

Okay. Now let’s get back to the main topic. This semester, my group members and I are taking the subject COMM 4420: Public Opinion and Persuasion. As for the assignment, we are required to conduct a research related to “Public Opinion”. Therefore, we have chosen a topic entitled Monitoring the Blogging Fever among Bloggers from IIUM. We have decided that our target participants are bloggers who are currently and were formerly studying in IIUM.

After thinking for few days and discussing with my friends on how to approach all of you, (yes, you!) I have decided to seek an assistance from the Admin of IIUMBloggers.com. He agreed to help me. Therefore, I am doing this survey in collaboration with the Admin of IIUMBloggers.com. He has provided me with a list of e-mail addresses of all of those who have registered under IIUMBloggers.com. He also checked my survey form for any grammatical mistakes as well . Not to forget, Max J Potter who has checked my consent letter. Thank you so much to both of you and I highly appreciate it.

As mentioned above, my target participants are bloggers from IIUM. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to answer this survey form. I have put a link to the consent letter and the survey form below. I will also send an email to those who have registered under IIUMBloggers.com. The reward? All of you will be blessed by Allah S.W.T. Insha Allah. =)

By the way, I am doing this research quite late. Therefore, you need to submit the survey form before 1^st October 2009. Well, all of us just return from our hometown right? I sincerely sorry for any inconvieniences. Lastly, thank you for your cooperation. I highly appreciate it from the very bottom of my heart.
