During class, we reviewed the flyer for presentations. We also created a survey, that you can access to edit in Microsoft Forms or to be able to take the survey. After the data has been collected, you will be able to see/edit it in a [Spreadsheet]().

This week, I drew some of the source material from a couple of articles. We listen to a story called The Blind Men and the Elephant. In discussing triangulation, I draw from Thurmond (2001) to share the types of triangulation we consider. We also consider Midway (2020) as we discuss data visualization.
