The viva voce examination is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the various statistical parts of this double module. The Viva Voce will last 25 minutes. At the start of the viva, the student will be asked to choose and explain an analysis that he/she feels very comfortable with (e.g., one-way repeated measures ANOVA). The student will then be asked to choose one more analysis, which will be as complex as the student feels comfortable dealing with. The tutor will ask questions to clarify understanding where appropriate throughout. Students are strongly encouraged to use their annotated portfolio to help them in their explanations and to demonstrate their understanding of the analyses. However, the portfolio should be a support rather than a crutch. The specific assessment criteria for this examination are detailed below. Assessment Criteria In order to obtain an A in this examination, students will demonstrate an in-depth understanding of each of the analyses. These analyses will typically include at least one of the more complex analyses (e.g., M...
From the start of the American Civil War, 1860, until the end of the Reconstruction, 1877, the United States of America endured what can be considered a revolution. Prior to the year 1860, there was a lack of union because of central government power flourishing rather than state power. Therefore, there was a split of opposite sides, North and South, fighting for authority. One major issue that came into mind was of slavery. At first, there were enactments that were issued to limit or rather prevent conflict to erupt, such as the numerous compromises, Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850. They did not fulfill the needs of the states, South states in particular; therefore, in the year 1860, the Civil War had commenced. There was the issue of inequality of Blacks in suffrage, politics, and the use of public facilities. However, much constitutional and social advancement in the period culminated in the revolution. To a radical extent, constitutional development between 1860 and 1877 amount to a revolution because of events like the Emancipation Proclamation, Civil Rights Act, the amendments that tried to change African Americans lives in American Society and contributed to get the union together. There is the social developments as well that to a lesser extent had amounted to the revolution because of organizations like the Klu Klux Klan, Freedmen’s Bureau lacking, and discrimination against African Americans that caused progression of violence and white supremacy.
Identify the hypothesis (testable question) that the study was trying to answer and describe the methods of research used in each study.
In response to the question set, I will go into detail of the study, consisting of the background, main hypotheses, as well the aims, procedure and results gathered from the study; explaining the four research methods chosen to investigate, furthering into the three methods actually tested.
The study follows the descriptive analytical method. It begins by an introduction forming a background to the study; followed by a summary of the plot, a literature review, a discussion and a conclusion.
While this statement does hold some truth, it is not entirely accurate. It is true that much of Alexander the Great’s story was written long after his death, but that does not means “historians really do not know much about” him. It is often difficult to piece together the puzzle that makes up the life and times of Alexander, but to a large extent it can be done. Historians are able to piece together source material, histories, and archeological data to paint a portrait of the warrior king. This does not mean that the task is easy, or that all scholars agree, but it certainly presents a wealth of information to be considered.
The methods used included “setting, participants, procedure, data analysis, and measures”. The setting included a description of the study, how it was designed, and trials. In total there were 3041 students who participated in this study, with a 91% response rate. Data was not gathered on students w...
The following sections include the findings of both the qualitative analysis and the quantitative analysis. The statistical evidence and tests conducted for these findings can be found in the appendix section.
As the number of the sample is established, it is expected that the degrees of freedom of the research will be between 38 and 48. The alpha level for the research is 0.5. Taking into consideration the established degrees of freedom and the alpha level of 0.5, the critical value is expected to be either 2.042 or 2.000 (Gerstman, 2016). The confidence level that the null hypothesis is correct will be at 95%. The collected data will be analyzed with the use of Microsoft Excel.
During the study, each spring from 2002-2004 a group of students was added to the study, having a total of 3 groups. During the first wave of this explanatory study, respondents were
Directions: Regardless of whether you complete a “live” study, or participate in online research, after completing each study, you are required to complete the brief questionnaire below. Answers to these questions MUST be typed and submitted by the date indicated by your instructor. If you do not answer the questions sufficiently, you will NOT be given credit.
The form used for this critique contains many useful components for the purpose of completing a multidimensional assessment. The form is well organized and easy to follow. Compared to much longer assessment forms, this one is comprehensive without feeling overwhelming. Some minor modifications could make this form even more useful to practitioners serving diverse populations. In particular, translations in other languages is of paramount
Name and briefly discuss the three types of evaluation discussed in the text and in lecture.
A two-phase sequential explanatory strategy was used for the study. The two- phases are ordered in the sequence that was proposed as priority was placed on quantitative data collection and analysis. In the second phase, qualitative data was collected and used to refine the results of the quantitative data presented in the first phase.
Use the Study Questions: Helps focus on key issues. Questions afk about structural features, and clarify meaning.
