After each of your data collection outings, you are required to journal about your experiences in the field.
Start by describing the date, time and location of each outing and any notable features of the location or event. Next, do some reflecting on how the process went. How many people were you able to survey? What was the data collection experience like for you? What parts were harder than you expected? Easier than you expected? What techniques did you use that were successful? What techniques were less successful? If you were to do something like this again, what would you do differently?
You may submit your journal via Canvas once you have completed both data collection outings. Each journal entry should be about 2 double-spaced pages.
Each journal entry is worth 50 points. The date collection was at Northgate Market in barrio logan san diego. We had 50 entries/surveyed 50 people. The time was from 1-4 pm. I surveyed about 8-10 people. I used the $5 giftcard to my advantage.
Survey Corrections Assignment (50 pts) (ATTACHED DOCUMENT)
For this assignment, you will be asked to make corrections to 20 survey questions on a variety of topics using
what you have learned about best practices for survey design. The survey questions/responses in Column 1
below have intentional mistakes, imperfections, and flaws. Some errors are obvious; others are more subtle but
equally problematic. Your job is to identify all the errors in the questions/response options and correct them in
Column 2. For each item that you correct, write an explanation next in Column 3 that describes what was
wrong with the original item and what you did to fix it. Use the terminology we are learning in this course in
your explanation.
Enter your responses on this sheet and submit in Canvas.
