The Process Of The Semi Structured Interview

Frequently throughout the article, Nathan discusses cheating as a part of college culture. She explains that certain forms of cheating have become more “accepted” in college society and that a student’s personal life and experiences must be factored into the reasoning behind cheating. Nathan (2005) uses student answers from her online posted query, in which she posed as a student, asking “When is it OK to cheat?” (p. 29). The answers of many of the students showed that many students recognize certain exceptions that would allow cheating to be seen as

In the non-fiction book, The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead by David Callahan the author criticizes the economic world. In the beginning parts of Callahan’s work, he specifically pin-point when cheating started to become an uncommon factor is succeeding. He reflects on as far back as Greek and Romans who were fined for cheating. In every decade there was a new factor to cheat in as the author highlights many cheating ordeals exposed through-out Americas history.

Mari Pearlman in the article “cheating In School Reflects Basic Confusion In Society”, (August 27, 1999), asserts that ways society portrays cheating as adults reflects and also comes back to cheating in the classroom as a child. She asserts this claim to the fact that old habits as children will affect adult life in the future. Cheating has been a problem in society for decades and has progressed into becoming a life habit. Based on parenting going through the “beating system” children watching their parents cheat for example on taxes or lying to their bosses have an impact on the child and creates a life habit of deception.

In Mari Pearlman’s L.A. Times article, “ Cheating In School Reflects Basic Confusion in Society” (1999), she discusses cheating and its effect on students, both, while in school and later in life. Cheating has been around for a long time and now cheating’s grip on students is worsening. With the more often occurrence of cheating in schools, schools need to put their foot down and put a stop to cheating in order to lower the occurrence of cheating in the future. However, there are some that say cheating is not common anymore and is rarely spotted.

In order to meet the study objectives, in addition to the case study, a semi-structured interview was conducted using non-random sampling. As respondents of the interview had to have particular characteristics such as ability to value property and knowledge about the property market, estate agents were contacted. A total of 7 interviews were conducted with estate agents in the West Hampstead/Kilburn area. The interviews lasted approximately 10 minutes. The participants were as follows:

When is the last time you were able to do something you really enjoy? A month ago (Shopping)

Over 4 years of extensive experience, knowledge, skills and abilities with providing services to people with varying socio-economic backgrounds, low income, including individuals with disabilities obtain services needed.

Howard and Johnson (2004) conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews to investigate ‘resilient’ teachers’ strategies for coping with burnout in their day-to-day teaching in disadvantaged Australian schools. Findings from the interviews found that by adopting a resilience perspective, a small group of teachers who persistently cope well with serious occupational stress were able to be identified. Participants in this study identified a sense of agency, a strong support group (i.e. a proficient and concerned leadership team), pride in achievements and competence in areas of personal importance as their major protective factors in coping with burnout and stress. All these factors were strong features throughout the interview.

As it pertains to the data analysis, the researcher used the raw verbatim transcripts of each interview. The transcripts are marked for similar passages of text with a code so that they could be retrieved easily

The data collection was done in two phases. Focus groups and individual semi-structured interviews were organized. In the first phase two focus groups that involved nine of the healthcare providers were conducted in November and December of 2009. The researchers incorporated this phase to pinpoint the most important topics to observe during the main stage of the research study. The second phase integrated the individual semi-structured interviews that ranged from February to September of 2010 and consisted of the remaining 25 healthcare providers that cared for patients with cachexia. That study stated that all of the interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed into the exact same words of the individual to be analyzed. The researchers

Over the course of the semester, we have learned a variety of interviewing techniques and put them into practice. We have videotaped ourselves interviewing and spent time analyzing it; we have spent time in the classroom participating in role-play scenarios. These experiences have given me the chance to begin learning and developing my own set of interviewing techniques and skills. To culminate our learning for the semester, we conducted one final interview and in this paper I will reflect on it in the context of the entirety of the class.

For the qualitative interview, we will divide the process into at least three rounds, and interview at least five participants during each round. We will consult the experts after each interview rounds and revise the table accordingly. For the randomized controlled trial, we will conduct the randomization and simultaneously collect the responses with the online survey systemat

Many researchers have indicated that cheating is a serious problem on campuses (Bowers, 1964; Engler et al., 2008; Gallant, 2008; Leming, 1978; McCabe, Trevino, & Butterfield, 2001). Studies completed by Bowers (1964) and McCabe and Trevino (1996) revealed nearly identical results regarding student-cheating behavior despite the 30 year time span; both studies identified that

Results of the analysis show that on average. Half of the students do cheat in some form (males appear to have a higher tendency to cheat than females.)To check this, the dean would do well to make the examination process stricter. The hypothesis results however show some encouraging news. The cheating episodes appear to be less at this university than at other institutions. The dean may therefore make an attempt to create awareness against cheating so that students can become more
