Words to stress correctly
| information | in·for·MA·tion | /ɪnfɚˈmeɪʃən/ |
| questionnaires | ques·tion·NAIRES | /kwɛstʃəˈnɛrz/ |
| quantitative | QUAN·ti·ta·tive | /ˈkwɑntɪteɪtɪv/ |
| qualitative | QUAL·i·ta·tive | /ˈkwɑləteɪtɪv/ |
| collecting | col·LECT·ing | /kəˈlɛktɪŋ/ |
| consumers | con·SUM·ers | /kənˈsumɚz/ |
54 words, aim for 21–25 seconds; 'two' is already in words. Breathe after market research, after forms of survey and after samples of consumers; short pauses after information and after services.
Where marks are usually lost
Both QUAN·ti·ta·tive and QUAL·i·ta·tive take first-syllable stress—don't let it drift to the middle. ques·tion·NAIRES is stressed on the last syllable, in·for·MA·tion on the third, col·LECT·ing and con·SUM·ers on the second. Keep -s on types, techniques, questionnaires, forms, samples, products, services, notes.
General tip: the two openers Quantitative research / Qualitative research are near-twins—slow slightly on each so the difference is heard.
