Primary and Secondary research

In Amy's lesson we were talking about primary and secondary research and how it effects us everyday. Primary research is collecting data for the first time, by a method other than secondary research. Primary data comes from the researcher for the purpose of the specific purpose it hand. Secondary research is when information has been gathered from other sources and not by you personally. Its usually something like, somebody wrote some time of data and then its handed to someones else to read, that is secondary research.
