Module 13

Module 13

 

You’re almost there. And that means it’s time to start wrapping up your survey-related data collection and begin the process of analyzing your data. As a first step, please gather your results in numerical form… tally the numbers: how did your respondents answer your questions? You will include these numerical tallies in your final paper, either within the body of the paper or as an appendix.

 

Then, use your data analysis tool to display your results graphically. This can be in the form of a pie chart, bar chart, line, etc. For this step, you’re just displaying the results. You must include these graphical displays of your results in the body of your paper.

 

Finally, you’ll do some analysis and use your data analysis tool to help reveal and demonstrate significant trends you find in your data – what does your data mean in the context of your original research question? Use statistical analysis to highlight and document correlations, tendencies, variabilities, averages, etc. that reveal themselves as you study your own data. These statistical analyses will also be included in the body or appendices of your paper, depending on their relevance.

 

You may send me a draft of this week’s work for feedback if you wish, but it is not required. 

 

I hope you all find some time this week to connect with all you are thankful for, including your own selves… be grateful for your breath and for the very body that supports your physical, mental and spiritual life. You may not always be happy with that body – especially after you stuff it full of turkey and mashed potatoes – but it’s still there for you and that’s something to be grateful for.
