Preparation work for live session
Preparation work for live session
Today we're going to practise writing about some data that we'll gather ourselves. You're going to find out how your classmates' lives have changed in the last year. In preparation, use Google Forms to come up with three questions on this topic to ask people. Think about how you will word the questions, and choose an appropriate question type to get the information you're looking for. Remember:
Open questions (e.g. What do you think about [X]) are more interesting, but also more difficult to quantify.
Closed questions (e.g. Do you like [Y]), on the other hand, are easy to quantify, but may not tell us very much.
Multiple choice questions and Likert scales can also help quantify people’s preferences and opinions.
I spend too much time on social media.
Social media should be blocked in university classrooms.
I would still use social media if it wasn't free
Collecting data and writing up
Collecting data and writing up
The live session will be a chance for you to share your Google Form (easiest way is probably to put the link in the chat box) and clarify any responses.
Take 10-15 minutes to complete as many of your classmates' questions as you can
Once everyone has finished providing their answers, take some time to check your responses.
Use the data to write a Results paragraph followed by a Discussion. Your Results paragraph should describe the data that you collected and the discussion section should offer the analysis, so you will need to refer back to last week's class to review what to include in each, and what kind of language to use.
Upload your completed paragraphs to Eduflow.
