This week, you will be making and implementing decisions about data management for the variables that you have chosen to examine based on the steps reviewed in the videos and supplemental materials. This assignment is important because it offers you the opportunity to practice making sound data management decisions and think about how these decisions will impact your research.
Your assessment will be based on the evidence you provide that you have completed all of the steps. When relevant, gradients in the scoring will be available to reward clarity (for example, you will get one point for submitting output that is not understandable, but two points if it is understandable). In all cases, consider that the peer assessing your work is likely not an expert in the field you are analyzing. You will be assessed equally on your description of your frequency distributions.
Specific rubric items, and their point values, are as follows:

Continue with the program you’ve successfully run.
Decide how you will manage your variables.
STEP 1: Make and implement data management decisions for the variables you selected.
Data management includes such things as coding out missing data, coding in valid data, recoding variables, creating secondary variables and binning or grouping variables. Not everyone does all of these, but some is required.
STEP 2: Run frequency distributions for your chosen variables and select columns, and possibly rows.
Your output should be interpretable (i.e. organized and labeled).
WHAT TO SUBMIT:
Once you have written a successful program that manages your data, create a blog entry where you post your program and the results/output that displays at least 3 of your data managed variables as frequency distributions. Write a few sentences describing these frequency distributions in terms of the values the variables take, how often they take them, the presence of missing data, etc.
