APDD Investigation Basics

Hello once again, class! Today we'll be looking at the basics of an APDD investigation.

An APDD Investigation is a big project where we focus on the reason of APDD's existence. To gather data based on personality. We make the flowcharts / quizzes, make a poll, and slap it onto a chart. It may seem easy, but there's a lot more too it than that. 

Steps to having a successful APDD investigation:

1. Brainstorm ideas for a subject. As we said in 'Flowcharts Part One', write down anything you think is interesting on paper. It could be your hobbies, favourite [extra-curricular] activities, anything! I named my example flowchart 'What Colour Are You?' because I was interested in colours and the personalities, feelings and emotions they portray.

2. Create the flowchart! This is possibly one of the most fun steps. Remember to make it look appealing and neat with fun colours and orderly shapes. There also has to be a point to the flowchart otherwise you shouldn't be making the flowchart in the first place.

3. Share it! Share it with your friends and family, or share it with social media so they can take the flowchart too.

4. Make a poll for the flowchart. What result did they get for the flowchart? The options should be the last task on the flowchart, also known as the 'End'.

5. Wait a week or so for the results to come in, and then make a chart out of it.

And that's it! There is also another method to do with quizzes as well, but that's in an upper level course that is filled with exams and the such.

There's no homework for this module as we have almost finished the course and we will have exam revision for future lessons. 

Class dismissed!

Note: Please take note that we will be focusing on APDD Investigations in future, and more advanced, courses. We will be going into the details of flowcharts, charts (which we have not touched on yet) and later on another APDD Investigation method that involves quizzes which is a lot more complicated but less common than the flowchart method.
