TASKS

Finally, we get to do our research. Before starting, we need to choose which research method we want to use; quantitatively or qualitatively. We only had to choose one but could do more if we want. I went with quantitatively to garner a lot of result at once, working with numbers is something I really like to do anyways. I also had to put up justification on why I chose the specific method.

Afterwards I created an outline, prepared questions and started spreading the survey to all of my friends, my family, my family's friends and as far as I could reach. I do not want to say I have a lot but I do have a handful of internet friends spread from around the world so it does help a little bit for my audience to not make it all just homogenous.

Attached below is my outline and also the results.

I summarized and move them to a presentation deck once again. With that I am done with the primary data collection and data analyzing.

REFLECTION

This part was a bit okay for me, except the one time I messed up the chart because of my hastiness. Fixing it took a long of time and it was "manual" which I made by myself, it took so many hours and slowed down my process of analyzing the data. I was also skeptical during this part since I always knew I was not allowed to mix discussion and data as results should only be the data and data only, I guess I was wrong about this one. Collecting data was enjoyable other than the part of me pestering people but since it was one time it was okay. Next on I felt like I need to do one more method of research to complete my study and make my dissertation paper easier.
