Discussion 1:
Kirk (2016) discusses data acquisition, whether you acquire it or it is acquired by you. How can you determine the value of the data? Do you need to consider the difficulty in analyzing the data when you consider the data you are collecting? For example, if you wanted to collect data by rigid parameters, so analysis is easier, is that a better approach? Does that compromise the integrity of your data? Do you need to collect all of it and then analyze it? What are your constraints when collecting data? Can your computer handle 100,000 rows of tabular data?
These are all questions to think about. What are some approaches, sources, and collection standards you would use? Provide an example scenario and provide specific techniques you could employ.
Note: Your answer must be 1000 words and add minimum 3 references.
