2/19/10 Workshop topic: Managing our Data

Peter Callas will attend Workshop on February 19 to share his perspectives on our questions about basic data managment, with special attention to active projects that collected data on paper forms.

*What are some methods that can be used for error checking data?
*How can we set up double-data entry as an error checking strategy in Excel?
*How can we keep track of data that came in a form we didn't expect (e.g., age: 40-something)?
*How can we keep the dataset clean through different phases of data-entry and manipulation?

Post a comment to add questions/topics you'd like addressed during this session to help us organize our discussion.
