Sources of Data
This lesson taught me the types of sources of data which are Primary and Secondary. It also taught me the differences between the two and in what context both sources are relevant and effective in. I also learnt how these data could be arranged in terms of structured data and unstructured data. Structured data is placed in such a way where data is organized and hence easily readable by users, however may not be as detailed as unstructured data that includes images, word process documents, emails, audio recordings. Finally, I learnt of different types of data which are qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative data is the why of the data, where facts or opinions are the ones usually displayed. Quantitative data involve numbers, data that is numerical, as opposed to opinions and facts. With this knowledge, I would be able to collect and organize data effectively to suit the needs of my problem statement.
