Chapter 2 Data Collection
I began my Data Collection chapter by collecting
information from a number of secondary data
sources (e.g Websites, textbooks, class notes,
teacher hand-outs etc) and a piece of software
called AEGIS. This allowed us to search
development indicator data for all the countries
in Africa and present the information using
different graph types on a map of Africa. This
chapter also includes an explanation of what
AEGIS does, the problems of using it in class,
the procedure we used for searching data using
AEGIS, the general problems of data collection
and how we overcame them.
Quality introduction to Chapter 2.
