I. Evaluation and Interpretation of Sources
In October 1962, the United States discovered nuclear missiles in Cuba, resulting in a two-week political crisis. This investigation will be assessing the following: what was Attorney General Robert Kennedy’s impact on the decisions and outcomes of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Nearly all of the meetings of the Executive Committee of the National Security Council were recorded, as well as many private conversations between President Kennedy and his staff. The tapes used in this investigation were tapes 36.1 and 36.2, which recorded a discussion between President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy after an Executive Committee meeting on October 23, 1962. These tapes provide a direct look inside the White House and portray the real dilemmas during the crisis. These two tapes specifically provide a glimpse into the relationship between John F. Kennedy and his brother. Because the two brothers speak alone for nearly all of the conversation, it is possible to analyze how Robert Kennedy impacted President Kennedy, who was the ultimate decision maker as Commander-in-Chief. While the tapes did provide valuable insight into the White House, they also had several limitations. The most apparent of these is the audio quality. These tapes were not made for the purpose of public release, so the quality of the recording is severely poor, and nearly impossible to understand without a transcript. The transcripts are also
Mainland Student interpreters’ Interpretation Anxiety
Interpreting is deemed as a highly stress-provoking activity (Seleskovitch 1978; Jiménez and Pinazo 2001). It requires an excellent command of the source language and the target language, perfect memory retention, and fast information retrieval from the memory file. These complex linguistic, cognitive and psychomotor operations can easily produce an enormous amount of stress (Chiang,2006).
How is the interpretation anxiety related to general
researcher will adopt a plan before proceeding with data collection and how data will be managed. The study must initialize the management of the data evidence collection and data that are collected. According to Yin (2013) any encountered competing interpretations that will be discovered in the data must be reported to ensure its credibility for the study. Additionally, during the research, the most significant elements of the study must be addressed by the data analysis (Yin, 2009).

Introduction:
Execution of the project:
Execution of the project (implementation phase of the project) proceeds on correct lines, the data to be collected would be adequate and dependable. The researcher should see that the project is executed in a systematic manner and in time. If the survey is to be conducted by structured questionnaires, data can be readily machine-processed. In such situation, questions as well as the possible answers may be coded. If the data are to be collected through interviewers

as a theorist, was more concentrated on educational evaluation. The ultimate purpose of evaluation in his mind is to improve the quality of educational life students lead (Eisner, 1976). To reach that objective, as Eisner said, “evaluators need to find the sophisticated, interpretive map to understand the meaning of what is known” (Eisner, 1994, p. 193).
General Approach
In order to carry out that purpose, he merged art perspective into evaluation and first brought up the original idea of arts-based
There are many ways to write a literary essay on a text, choosing the most effective method depends on what the writer is trying to accomplish. What is most important is understanding what one is writing about and effectively delivering it. In the sample essay, "Tossing Metaphors Together in Robert Francis 's 'Catch '" by Chris Leggett, Leggett writes an analysis paper in which he analyzes the extended metaphor of the poem. While in the sample essay, "How William Faulkner 's Narrator Cultivates
Data gathering, reviewing, and analyzation is a very important step in an effective evaluation or assessment process. The outcome as well as any subsequent suggestions are based on the data and review provided during the initial process. Guerra-Lopez (2008) emphasized that the success of an evaluation process is contingent upon five particular aspects about data and data sources: 1) data relevance, 2) data collection, 3) evaluating data, 4) data reporting, and 5) avoiding data errors. These five
Prepare a critical analysis of a quantitative study focusing on protection of human participants, data collection, data management and analysis, problem statement, and interpretation of findings. The quantitative research article can be from your previous literature review or a new peer-reviewed article. Each study analysis will be 1,000-1,250 words and submitted in one document.
As with the assignments in Topics 1-3, this should connect to your identified practice problem of interest. Refer to
the research topic. Primary sources are original documents which come directly from the source of an individual perspective or observation (Research Guides). These sources are usually interviews, photos, diaries, and research studies conducted directly by the researcher. Secondary sources on the other hand are more of an interpretation of the original research by someone who did not have a direct involvement in the original research (Research Guides). Secondary sources are journal articles, books
