this study is the use of convenience sampling, as previously mentioned. Black et al. (2000) make

If I was doing this study, my hypothesis would be that “people, who receive an aversive stimulus every time they give an incorrect answer, will try harder to get the correct answer than those who do not receive anything”. My independent variables, which are the variables that researcher manipulates, would be the electric shocks and the emotional motivation; and my dependent variable, which is the variable that is tested and measured, would be the members’ results.

A) Mr. Gualtieri cannot draw a conclusion about a cause-and-effect relationship from the evidence he has because he would be too quick to determine the factors that are affecting the students’ learning, development, and behavior (Ormrod, 2014, p.11). Instead of worrying about the cause-and- effect relationship from the evidence, Mr. Gualtieri should scrutinize the research report carefully; therefore, he must answer two questions. First, he must determine if he separated and controlled variables that might have an influence on the outcome. Second, he must ask if he has ruled out other possible explanations for his results? (Ormrod, 2014, p.11). If Mr. Gualtieri’s answers to both these questions are yes, then he should be able to draw a conclusion about the cause-and-effect relationship. Unfortunately, “yes” is not the answer to the two questions. This software program may not lead itself to experimental manipulation and tight control of other potentially influential variables because it is considered as a quasi-experimental study (Ormrod, 2014, p.10). Some of these influential variables that cannot be

In most cases, scholars view research as large samples of subjects that are either participating in either two groups. Most research studies are considered as an experimental group whereby a treatment, independent variable (IV), or intervention is presented or a control group in which such interventions are not presented (Alberto & Troutman, 2016). Based on case study level C, Case 2, the independent variable is the treatment that is needed to change Rachel’s attitude in class. In the group designs, there is involvement of many subjects with each having an averaged performance, Dependent Variable which is comparable in the evaluation of experimental control. Therefore, Dependent variable in Rachel’s case is her behavior.

The event or experience in my life that will influence my academic work and goals here at Colorado Christian University (CCU) is much more than a single event. I believe that everything in my life that has brought me to CCU to further my education and pursue God’s calling: helping people.

Instructions: This is a group activity that you will start in class and complete at home. For each of the following, note, whether the research design used is an experiment, a quasi-experiment, or a correlational approach and why. If a study is an experiment, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Please type your answers in complete sentences.

As schools in Illinois transition to the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has taken steps to provide districts with resources to aid in this transition. ISBE has created five foundational services with the goal of creating educational continuity throughout the state, from Rockford to Cairo. These five foundational services include continuous improvement planning, balanced assessment, teacher evaluation, new Illinois learning standards for mathematics, and new Illinois learning standards for English Language Arts (ELA).

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.

Design 1: Research to find the effects of online testing on test-anxiety would be done by using 150 undergraduate students in an introductory psychology course. The reason I would use this sample size is to give my experiment statistical power and a class size of 150 is realistic on a large college campus. All students would come from the same course to make their scores comparable. Over the course of the semester four exams would be given to the students. On the first day of class, a TAI test would be given to all participants to rate their levels of test anxiety. Students’ scores would put them into one of three categories: low test anxiety, moderate test anxiety, or severe test anxiety. Students will provide ID number so that their information can be tracked. From then, all students would be split equally (75 participants in each) into two groups by random assignment. The first group, Group A, would take the 1st and 3rd tests online while taking the 2nd and 4th tests in-person. Group B would take the 1st and 3rd tests in-person while taking the 2nd and 4th tests online. Students test scores would then be compared to see if there are any within-subject exam score differences. Giving the students more than one test in each condition helps reduce the

Greetings from East Texas Baptist University – I am getting used to saying this because just four weeks ago I began as the thirteenth president of the university. While I am new to this role and place, I am very familiar with SACSCOC and your leadership as the President, because for the last twenty years I have served at Dallas Baptist University as the Executive Vice President. I worked closely with Dr. Gail Linam, our provost, in many areas including our accreditation. Gail frequently referenced you, your leadership, and wisdom in guiding the colleges and universities of the Southern United States. Your advocacy and influence has strengthened the work of higher education and the standings of our institutions with constituencies and the Federal

I am Dustin Kehoe, and I have had many people and events in my life that influenced what happened and is happening to me. In the summer of 2016, I was on a Kentucky mission trip when me and 2 of my friends when to hike on a mountain and almost went off the edge and would have been a 3-story fall to the pavement. Before that moment I was terrified of heights, but now I don’t mind and I have been able to and will continue to do more activities. During my life, so far, I have mostly been exposed to people in the medical field because of my medical conditions. One of my first job considerations was to be a police officer, then in the medical field. My church has been the group that has influenced me the most, but one of the families there has

There were many ways I could have gone about writing this essay, the needless use of big words to convey simple points, the insertion of irrelevant long quotes just to make the minimum page requirement, but this is the last undergraduate essay I will ever write. If I will write, I might as well write with my best effort and in my own style. Reflecting over my journey these last five years has been difficult. These years have been filled with so many trials and tribulations that it feels as though a lifetime has passed since I first set foot on the campus of Baylor University, yet at the same time it feels as though it went by so fast, I merely blinked and it was over. I can honestly say the Baylor Interdisciplinary Curriculum (BIC) is my greatest and most precious takeaway from my undergraduate experience. It was in the BIC that I learned to enlarge my perspective, become more fully aware of myself, and become prepared for leadership and service. I have been challenged by the BIC and to my surprise, I rose to the challenge. This experience cannot be fully explained without evaluating and reflecting upon the various worlds, lives, and cultures explored in the BIC and how they are personally related to me.

As a teacher candidate, EDU 350 is one of the first methods classes taken at Spring Arbor University (SAU). Past students talk about how challenging the class is and how much work is involved in the final Interdisciplinary Standards Based Unit (SBU). Nevertheless, these same students commented about how much they appreciated the difficulty of this class because it helped them to refine and cultivate their pedagogy. Furthermore, this class implements every aspect of the School of Education’s (SOE) Conceptual Framework, which contains the six elements of an effective teacher. Through this conceptual framework and objectives of EDU 350, students are encouraged to reflect on how they can become critical participants in the contemporary world of teaching. Students are instructed

One issue I see with all forms of the analysis is that the student was able to “elect to participate” (Cho et al., 2012, p.1). According to U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Evaluation, Regional Assistance [U.S. DOE], (2003), “The comparison group should not be comprised of individuals who had the option to participate in the intervention but declined” (p. 12). It seems that when studies are not randomized it decreases the effectiveness of the study. As stated by the U.S. DOE, (2003), “Randomized controlled trials are a critical factor in establishing “strong” evidence of an intervention’s effectiveness” (p.5).

First week of nonstop missions work from 8 am to 5 pm is officially over all I can say is I am physically exhausted,but mentally fulfilled. If we are going to be completely honest I had no desire to come to Houston when I first heard the Lord's calling. What I have learned over the years is you don't question the Lord you follow even if every part of you wants to turn away. Well just like every new setting I adapted really well and have learned to call Houston a home away from home. From the street tacos to the diverse culture I couldn't help but fall in love with this city. The first couple days I remember going over all the statistics and thinking I should just lock myself up in a box for safety reasons. I honestly feel safer here in
