Graphs

Goal:
Evaluate your system.

Agenda:
Teamwork Rubric
Graphing Data

Teamwork Rubric
You know the drill.

Graphing Data
Google Forms will graph a lot of the data for you but for some sample sets the graphs aren't useful or you may want to get a little more information out of the data. See below.

For free response questions consider:
-Grouping similar responses and putting them in a bar graph
-Using a word cloud. Use the Word Clouds by ABCYa app

Sometimes it may be helpful to compare the responses of 2 separate questions. For example:
-I want to look at the responses for people that live in the 92029 zipcode.
If you would like to graph your data this way I can help you. You will need to use excel.

Why are you surveying?
Grab a whiteboard. With your group, write down:
1. WHAT you want to learn about your system
2. WHY you want to focus on that part of the system
3. WHO you should survey to find out about how the system is working

Create Your Survey
We have created some guidelines for your survey here. Make sure your survey includes the purpose as well as a mixture of questions types.

Keep Working

Goal:
Complete research.
Model system.

Complete Research:
Continue your system research. If you are studying a local community issue, Voice of San Diego has a lot of great articles as does the Union Tribune and KPBS

Model System
Once you have a rough sketch of your model, use Pureflow to make a cleaned up final draft. Here is the rubric I will be grading you on. A 4 has the following components:

  • A key is provided to help the viewer understand color codes or symbols.
  • Components and relationships are identified and defined based on research.
  • Colors, labels, and arrows are used to clearly classify the components and make their relationships easier to understand (e.g., inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, funding, laws, organizations)
  • The components are arranged spatially in a way that is easy to read.
