2023-24

U6C Geography NEA 23-24 JRP

Date Due

Oct. 5, 2023

Additional Info
Spend your 90 minutes developing your data collection resources.  What this entails will vary from project to project, but could include:

  • Selecting the places at which you will take measurements - this will have implications for sampling...systematic points spread along a line/in a grid?  Randomly selected streets?
  • Designing questionnaire questions (mostly closed questions) to ask to the general public
  • Designing interview questions to ask to an expert in your chosen topic
  • Creating data collection sheets (for coasts/carbon projects)
This is all primary data (that you collect yourself).  We'll think about secondary data in a week or two.

Ask me along the way if you have any questions.  I'd rather spend 5-10 minutes with you one-to-one at some point across the week to get you on the right track than you submit something that isn't going to work and have to redo from scratch.
