Microsoft Excel is a very helpful program used for analyzing data and documenting information. It is in a form of ‘spreadsheet’ which most of us are familiar with. By inserting data in each cell, one can make their gathered information organized, make them easier to understand, and draw charts or gain statistics from the data.

Dan Bricklin first made an online spreadsheet program in the 1970s, while attending the Harvard University. He came up with the idea of inventing the program as his professor kept writing and erasing numbers on the black board. After tons of experiments done on his Apple II computer, the grid system that we all use today has been selected.

Primary research is a method used by researchers to gather data directly from various sources.
In this method, the researchers are actively involved in the collection of data.
Ethics of primary research:
-Voluntary participation
-Confidentiality and anonymity
- Research bias(Dana Lynn Driscoll, 2010)

# data[].attributes.body
Survey: Carrying out a survey, researchers can obtain detailed information by asking short questions to targeted participants

Interview: Asking questions to participants in groups or individually about their thoughts, opinions or experiences.

Observation: Observing the world around oneself - in terms of observable phenomena or measurable events to understand details about the activity.                Ex) Observing natural phenomena such as cloud movement or observing traffic patterns in a university campus parking area.                                        +All the tools mentioned  aside can be used while doing observation research!!
