Undertaking Primary And Secondary Research
Resumen
Once you have an issue, the temptation is to jump straight to doing something about it. Resist it. A project built on assumptions rather than evidence tends to solve the wrong problem, or solve the right problem in a way that does not work, because nobody asked the people it was meant to help.
This lesson teaches you how to research an issue properly before you act on it: how to turn a broad concern into specific research questions, how secondary research and primary research each do a different job, and how to design a survey or interview that actually tells you the truth rather than the answer you were hoping to hear. The running example throughout is a public library reducing its opening hours, a genuine local issue with real people on different sides of it.
