Unit 7 was fascinating and I believe it was my favourite unit. This unit covered data preparation and presentation which was very interesting. I was introduced to the term data dictionary which is where a researcher list and describes items in a database, it also helps the research to remember the codes given to items in the research. When I first encountered the term coding in my research proposal, I was reluctant to meet that part of my research because I developed a bad perception of the word. I thought coding would be difficult to understand but unit seven showed me coding is an easy process. When coding I must pay attention to details and not overstate items or I will look for items that do not exist; this will lead to invalid
