Data Collection ‘Process Description’ Assignment pt.2 – Preliminary Analysis; Research Team (Fall 2025).docx

This Second part of my multi-step assignment titled “Preliminary Analysis” is the description of the information derived from the first set of interviews. I believe this can help me in future civic engagement as it has proved to provide useful foreknowledge on why students might regard water conservation as important and the similar trends of lack of ongoing education throughout higher grade levels. This will help me facilitate an environment of understanding by connecting with future interviewees who may have had similar experiences to the ones I’ve talked to in the past.
