Analysis : Compass Team 10

My passion towards working with students every day has led me to the decision of pursuing a doctoral degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education at Miami University. I have chosen this program to prepare myself for a future role as a professor or a senior level college administrator. This program will allow me to become more proficient within the students’ educational experience and therefore better engage students in active learning.

4. What are the limitations of the survey method, and how would you overcome the limitations of this research method, or any research approach?

However, without proper management, leadership and global vision, this ideal can never be achieved. Business is the one field that invokes and teaches leadership as a lifestyle and brings all fields together to promote one goal. Without leaders to provide purpose, direction and collaboration, not even the smartest team can complete simple tasks. Ross nurtures leaders to help the world create solutions to complex problems such as global sustainability. The Sanger Leadership Center will help develop my core values and give skills to affect the world through unique challenges such as the Crisis Challenge. Surrounded by other students with similar goals but diverse mindsets and backgrounds through the LeaderX program allows for the development of a leadership style that does not merely work in all settings, but excels at stimulating the minds of everyone. I do not want to be the passive bystander while the world and my family face the sustainability crisis. I need to be raised into a global leader with strong values and purpose that can change the face of environmental issues and social impact. No longer will be the boy powerless to climate change. No longer will be the student helpless to others’ poverty. No longer will be the follower incapable of fostering

In the article titled, "The Common Language of Leadership," by Corey Seelmiller and Thomas Murray, which can be found in the November 2013 edition of the Journal of Leadership Studies, the authors conducted qualitative research in an attempt to (a) define and understand the competencies needed by college students to engage in leadership in their respective career fields and (b) to use the research findings on leadership competencies in order to develop a program that will encompass all fields of academic disciplines. The authors of this article studied the comprehensive of learning outcomes of 475 academic programs within 72 academic accrediting organizations in regard to student leadership development. The assertions by Corey

This survey spans across the mid-level and high-level schools of United States, which are believed to represent a cross-section of the national population. About 66 – 80% of the American schools participate in the survey on an average, and the students’ participation rate stands at an average of 79 – 83%.

We created the survey using third-party technology and adapt their templates to suit our needs. Results were to remain anonymous, to encourage the participants to

For me, I do not have enough knowledge about this project and there are so many topics that I do not have an enough in depth knowledge.And I am serious about the part of doing a questionnaire survey.

Thinking up of questions for a large-scale survey is a multi-step process, and this will become clear with the explaining of the layout of a few surveys. In spring of 2009 between April and May, The Project Information Literary team decided to put out a survey to further understand the usage of Wikipedia among college students. First they had to create the question on the survey. They did this by creating an 11 student focus

The questionnaires will be given out at my placement, church and class, so that the information will collect from a large portion of a group.

The strength of questionnaires is it can give an insight into respondent’s thoughts and opinions and also cost efficient as it is inexpensive.

Alongside the survey, we also gave out several questions in the form of a small interview.

In survey method research, participants answer questions administered through interviews or questionnaires. After participants answer the questions, researchers describe the responses given. In order for the survey to be both reliable and valid it is important that the questions are constructed properly. Questions should be written so they are clear and easy to comprehend.

Overall, I felt that I had a low response to the survey, with only 59 out of 150 teachers or 39% of faculty responding. Both statistically and for my own satisfaction, I expected more people to respond to the survey. Not only was the survey sent out several times, I also spoke to people directly, asking them to complete the survey. Nonetheless, even my own department did not meet 100% participation, as teachers were absent for various reasons.

After reviewing the survey, I found it to be very lengthy and redundant. Some of the questions are asking the same thing but the wording is slightly different. Also, the survey is requiring the employees to recall information that occurred several months ago. My improvement suggestion would be to reduce the length of the survey and make sure that it is geared more towards the objective of the survey.
