Potential Problems

Thinking Time

• By now you should have used and submitted the data collection form several times.
• Shortly, you will start looking at the data you collected.
• For now, can you think of any problems that might arise because of the design of the form, or the type of information we have been collecting?
  • One example would be categories. Because there was no drop down menu of categories, and you could enter anything yourself, we will end up with a messy, inconsistent set of categories.
  • What else might backfire when we look at the data?
