Data Set about questionnaire HOT 2 CLOSED

If you want to practice programming, challenge yourself a little, and ask others how they are doing it to determine if "excel" is really the best technique. Ideally, we can reproduce this for any given class size...

Review the section on grading in the README.md of this repository and try to answer your own question (please post that answer as a follow up here).

If you feel that manually cleaning the data in excel is a reproducible method by someone else without you there to guide them through the process then walk me through your reasoning; I would like to hear a defensible argument. How would you write down each of the manual steps in a way that someone else could reproduce what you've done without you being there?

On the other hand, what are some alternatives to using Python (which is one extreme of the spectrum) and alternatives to manually using excel (which is the other extreme end of the spectrum)?

I'll give you a hint to this last question which is an interesting (and reproducible) alternative to both:

What other alternatives can you think of or find? I don't know all the alternatives, so this is a real, open question!
