]]> 2025-02-25 19:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscoazpitarte/SSA006/wish/3342539122 Could our research question be based around the topic of mental health or is there too many ethical issues that come with that? https://padlet.com/franciscoazpitarte/SSA006/wish/3351250182 2025-03-04 19:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscoazpitarte/SSA006/wish/3351250182 Research Question https://padlet.com/franciscoazpitarte/SSA006/wish/3361270699 Could we investigate motivations for continuing education, is this associated with challenges in education?

Do i need to edit my survey to remove some questions or is it okay to leave it?

I have seen that you would like us to also display collected data on excel too. Is the practical going to show us how to work with excel?

So in the ethics slides it states that “You might want to require respondents to answer each question but include a response option for each item that allows the respondent to skip the item.” However, in the practical it was mentioned that we are supposed to mark all our questions as required.

Can I manually compare the sets of data instead (eg two graphs and I state the link instead of the graph showing me the link)

will I be deducted marks for not doing this type of analysis?
