Congratulations on your completion of the first round of data collection.
Thus, I will like the class to reflect on your experience this morning.
Please post your reply under the Comments Section for the following questions.
1) What are some of the difficulties you have encountered during the data collection process?
2) What are some of the improvement you can make to the data collection process?
1.The cars were too many cars and different types of vehicles, making calculation very difficult and it was difficult as we did not have a proper plans.
ReplyDelete2. We should split the roles out and have a proper plan.
1) The templates were different from each other (one had an extra row) so we had some confusion in between.
ReplyDelete2) We could have compared and made sure our templates were exactly alike. We could also have proper communication within the group.

1) What are some of the difficulties you have encountered during the data collection process?
ReplyDelete- The template had an extra row. Thus we had to make some adjustments.
2) What are some of the improvement you can make to the data collection process?
- We should have checked both the templates and could have had better communication with our teammates.
1) As we have to check every two minutes, we had to abort counting on the spot. We had to solely rely on the photos.
ReplyDelete2) We should have printed a bigger template, and allocated our roles properly.
The 2 templates that were printed have some differences (extra rows), thus there were some confusions.
ReplyDeleteWe could have communicated with one another better before the Data Collection Session.

Reflection:
ReplyDeleteThere were too many taxis.
- Create a draft 2 with a subheading - taxis
Even though it was not during peak hours, there were a lot vehicles.
- Get a bigger template to be able to write more
Time was unorganized.
- Add a sub-row under findings with all the different timings.

1) What are some of the difficulties you have encountered during the data collection process?
ReplyDeleteOur group members has to take the photos at the same time, if not the results will not be accurate. Hence, I find that it is very troublesome calling our group members at every intervals.
2) What are some of the improvement you can make to the data collection process?
We could have done more planning so that we would be more familiar with our roles and the things that we have to do.
1) We had some trouble counting the different types of vehicles, as we divided the amount of vehicles into many types, like cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles.
ReplyDelete2)We should have planned more, so that we would not have wasted some time and crucial information as we were discussing on the phone on what we should have done.
1) Our group did not print out the template, so we had to find other means of recording data....
ReplyDelete2) next time we have to decide on the person to print out the templates and etc.
1) Our group did not prepare a good template, we were not sure what to do, and the counting was not very accurate because of the traffic lights.
ReplyDelete2) We should have done proper preparation, communicated better on our roles, and we should have collected data at some other time, like peak hours as there was not much difference in vehicles. Also, we should collect data over a longer period of time.
1)There was definitely a communication break down. It was not possible to be holding my hand phone and do the recordings at the same time. I was a bit confused at first which direction we had to take but we overcame that.
ReplyDelete2) We could have wrote it neater as if it is illegible, we may miscalculate. We should have planned it better the day before so we would be very sure what we were suppose to do.
1) The cars moved to fast and I missed some. YiFan did not print out the spreadsheet so we cannot count the number of cars efficiently.
ReplyDelete2) We should have better preparation, printing the spreadsheet, and also take a camera to take some photos
1) What are some of the difficulties you have encountered during the data collection process?
ReplyDeleteThere were many vehicles and our group had to take down every vehicle
2) What are some of the improvement you can make to the data collection process?
We should change our template to make it more easier to use and record the data
1) I left my handphone at home accidentally so i had to count the vehicles but the information might not be accurate as I estimated the number of cars when there were too many.
ReplyDelete2) I should bring my handphone next time.
1) We did not have a fixed way of counting the vehicles and we did not have a plan
ReplyDelete2) We should have been more prepared before going out to the overhead bridges
1) There were too many cars even when it was not the peak hours and I bet I had missed at least 50 cars.
ReplyDelete2) The cars should be broken down into taxis and other cars. This will make it easier. Then, we can make things easier and not take down cars as there are too many and they move too fast.
1) My group was not organized and we did not have enough planning. We messed up.
ReplyDelete2) We could plan what we are going to do before we actually go out.
1.We were not organised and did not plan well. We also did not have paper to write on.
ReplyDelete2.We could plan better and print out the template.
Proper communication and accurate timing were both missing.
ReplyDeleteTake videos instead of photos to facilitate counting
