Spent the entire day consolidating the data from my 2 days of experiment. I’ve processed 137 of them, and I’m leaving the remaining 73 of them for tomorrow. If initial observations were to go by, I’ll have a very terrible time writing my report out of this set of data because:
1. Most of the data is not consistent at all (i.e. there is no trend that is observable).
2. A lot of people apparently do not know how to read instructions, despite being told to do so.
3. A lot of people were really not doing the experiment seriously. That is explained by a lot of rubbish answers that I have.
4. A lot of people really don’t think while filling up the experiment questionnaire. That is explained by a lot of self-contradictions within the responses they give.
5. A lot of people, when unsure of certain things, simply couldn’t be bothered to ask and just assume things.
To those of you who came and basically couldn’t be bothered about giving decent response about the experiment, you’d better start praying to whoever you pray to that you don’t have to do experiments or surveys like mine cos there will be people who will come round and screw all your results up. Remember, what goes around comes around.
Though I wonder why do I have to suffer such a fate when I always have been giving people decent responses when I participate in their research experiments and surveys. This world ain’t fair.
Getting fed up – I’m off to sleep.
