Effectiveness Of Interactive Online Algebra Learning Tools

At the start of the study, at total of 150 students were identified as potential participants

Furthermore, by analyzing the different modalities in the online class such as looking at the discussion posts of each student, quality of assignments, and participation in the collaborative group assignments Nagel et. al.(2007) were able to draw their own

The purpose of this report is to conduct a critical appraisal of a published article.

Since the vocabulary of the popular source is so simplistic, it caters to a more general audience and allows them to grasp the more important aspects of the Baker and Algorta article that was summarized. As the reader is allowed to gain this knowledge, there is a broadening of information that effects the general population. Since the general public is able to grasp this information, it makes it more accessible to those that would not normally come across scholarly articles that alienate those who are not researchers or students. While the article has simplistic language and makes the information more accessible, there are disadvantages. The article lacks citation which makes the information that the public is able to receive less credible. Since the information is less credible, it makes the information that the public receives more easily misconstrued. Alongside the lack of credibility, there is too much general information. The information that the public receives lacks a large amount of context that allows readers to gather more detailed and nuanced information that coexists with the research provided. Due to the nature of a popular source, less background knowledge of the subject is required; however, there is more opportunity for wrong information, for it is brief and can often be

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

The study has several validity issues: first, there was no control group, nor was there a pre-test. This means that there was no baseline to compare the results to, nor was there a control group to determine if the change was a result of the variable in question (the Internet). Second, the study only examined journal databases, which are frequented by students and researchers more often than the general population. Therefore, the sample is not representative of the general population and the results cannot be generalized to the broader population, which Carr did. Because this methodologically unsound study was the only one he cited, it is evident the essay lacks logos. Therefore, the first premise cannot stand from a logical

A research team leader will randomly select eligible participants and divided them into two equal groups, A and B. Group A pre-intervention and Group B post intervention. There are multiple delivery methods available for collection data such as interview (one-on-one, via telephone or in person), focus groups, and observation. The traditional method paper-and-pencil survey whose results are subsequently entered into a software program will be used as well as an online based collection to reducing the cost of data collection and encouraging voluntary participants. The data will be electronically downloaded directly to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis and minimizing data entry error or bias. There will be four different types

I do not believe the article can be improved upon. It has statistics and studies proving the point it was trying to make. It also does not make fake or biased claims and has a very precise assessment.

The article is very well writing and seems to be very well researched in many areas throughout the entire article. What I am not impressed with is the way that the author executed some of the beginnings and endings of topics. There were some instances where it did not make any sense to me.

What are the main ideas and/or issues of the article as it relates to the chosen topic?

Although the subject is very long and descriptive, for the most part it’s interesting. It was also surprising that, although the subject itself is simple and doesn't require much explanation, the author expanded every idea with specific detail and also facts that support each idea which made the article a lot longer but a lot more helpful. The author certainly has the qualifi-cations necessary to write this

The article was well written and organized thought. However it did had a bit of deficiencies. Although the usage of personal experience and opinions are existing but she also used a lot of rhetorical strategies. This overreliance made the argument and the tone sound little bit emotional. The introduction of

For example, through the whole article, Hellmich backs up her point with many pieces of information, as she displays 5 reliable sources. Nevertheless, in the last paragraph, she had included the reply of the American Beverage Association says “This is an observational study, which cannot and does not show that cardiovascular disease is caused by drinking sugar-sweetened beverages.” This contradicts what she had stated earlier in the text. Apart from this, the article was necessarily germane to the topic. Furthermore, expanding and condensing parts could have made the article better. An example is that they should expand the words of Laurie Schmidt of the University of California-San Francisco, because of the lack of words, and how it is in a repetitive tone from Rachael Johnson. Finally, Hellmich should had been more clear by not writing about all the exceeding numbers of facts , because in the end, it would be arduous to memorize, or to keep in mind of. Although that part could use a bit of improvement, this article was straightforward and

The abstract provides a nice summary of the article including the purpose, method, results and conclusion of the study. There is no real sense of urgency portrayed in the abstract because the authors fail to explain what the problem is that the study is aimed at researching. The authors do include the applicability of their

This study was limited due to the small sample size. Although the conclusions are valid, more research with a
