Using Data in Sociology
Using the same topic that you identified in the first writing assignment and further researched in the second, compose a short (two pages) write-up exploring the data that exists on your topic. In about 2-3 pages (double spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins, MLA format) Address the following:
(1) Where did you find the data?
(2) How and when was the data collected?
(3) What does the data document?
(4) How does the data relate to your topic?
(5) What are the limitations of the data?
