Recommended: Topic about correlational research

There are two concepts that I found interesting this week and this past week: the two kinds of sampling methods and their subtypes, and correlational research design method. The first type of sampling method is random sampling. This sampling method is used when a researcher wants his/her sample to be as random as possible in order to represent his/her target population and to draw an accurate conclusion on his/her findings. There are three subtypes of the random sampling method: simple, stratified, and cluster random sampling. The simple random sampling method is when everyone has an equal chance to be selected for a certain experiment; this type is the least bias and gives the most accurate conclusions. The second type is stratified random sampling, which is when the experimenter puts people in certain groups and then selects random people from each group; this is also where the researcher wants to mimic the actual percentages of his/her predetermined strategy. The last type of random sampling is cluster random sampling. This method is used when the researcher wants to select a cert...

  • English 111 Reflection Paper

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    For my Final Reflection Essay I attempted to focus on the most obvious adjustments I made from writing high school papers to producing college level essays. This approach compelled me to examine a few of the papers I submitted in high school and look back on the steps I took to write them. By reviewing my previous work I realized that during Dr. Kennedys English 111 class I have effectively learned how to apply an outline, utilize research, and incorporate that research into my final paper. English 111 has helped me to understand the importance of the multiple steps of writing a great college level essay by forcing me to complete each step individually. My overall performance in this class has been above average and I have really demonstrated dedication to improvement.

    The pretest-posttest design, crossover design, placebo, quasi-experiments (lack randomization but involve intervention and is usually found to be more acceptable to a broader group of people who are not always willing to be randomized in clinical trials). The RCT study known as the “gold standard” (for interventional studies, controlled and randomized for comparing a controlled and interventional group variable) and The Cohort (prospective) design research (analysis or the observational design with cohort, it starts with a recognized cause and then goes forward to the recognized effect). The clarification of the outcomes of the statistical analysis in quantitative research, understanding the research practice and the identification of the basis of evidence-based practice contained by the sections of research and critiques of that research.

    Composition 1 taught me crucial writing skills and helped me grow as a writer. At the beginning of the semester, my papers utilized a considerable amount of passive voice, lacked transitional phrases, and the context was not always fully developed. But throughout the class, my writing became more clear, organized, and comprehensive. Passive voice allows the object of an action to be the subject of a sentence. In my first paper, the formal summary essay, I wrote, “The term describes situations, dating back to the 1980s, when excessive numbers of blacks were found to have been exposed to highly polluted areas.” The use of “were found” and “been exposed” distort the meaning of the sentence. Passive voice confuses the reader and makes comprehension

    Time sure does fly; in the blink of an eye, yet another 7.5-week class has come and gone. Just like life, it is scary to think that in just a few short years I will be graduating college and be in search of a future career. The magnitudes of readings, assignments, PowerPoint lectures, and videos have all contributed to the valuable knowledge I have gained since taking this course. Nothing that was presented or required was seen as invaluable towards my progression of career development. This career development course has allowed me to do some self-exploration, career research, and help me understand what influencing factors were related to the job market. Ultimately, this class helped me gauge and find a suitable career path, which will forever shape my future.

I am going to be honest, I am not good at English subject and English subject is my strongest weakness than the other subjects.

    10). Other characteristics include a focus on the objective and quantifiable, emphasis on specific concepts, the researcher is an external, large sample, measured information, and includes statistical analysis (Polit & Beck, 2017). The use of quantitative methodology fits this study’s purpose because it asks specific questions about how frequently the phenomenon occurs, what factors are related to the stated phenomenon, and what is the underlying cause (Polit & Beck, 2017). It also asks what would happen if the phenomenon was altered, and can the occurrence be prevented (Polit & Beck,

In this essay I will be talking about three writings and how they are related to this course semester. The three writings are “On Bullshit” by Harry Frankfurt, “Why I Write Bad” by Milo Beckman,and “Statement of Teaching Philosophy” by Stephen Booth.

  • Essay On Sampling In Research

    3005 Words  | 7 Pages

    The key to good research is preparation, preparation, and preparation. Hence, the key to making good sampling choices is preparation. Trochim (2008) defines sampling as the drawing of a sample (a subset) from a population (the full set). In our everyday lives we all draw samples without realising it. For instance, when one decides to taste some unfamiliar food or drink that is some form of sampling. Williams (2003 74) posits that “Sampling is a search for typicality). On the other hand, (Clark: 2006 87) defines sampling as “a process of drawing a number of individual cases from a larger population”. According to (Chiromo: 2006 16), “a sample is a smaller group or subset of the population”.

    “I met someone who can help you get an English 10 class.” Those were the words that echoed through my mind after the last day of enlistment. It was because of this person, whom my mother met, that I was able to enrol in this class. It was actually better than taking Fil 40, mainly because I have actually struggled with Tagalog in the past. What did change that language difficulty was the fact that I would have to write papers. The first week of class started well with a diagnostic essay which I was able write and get neutral feedback. But soon I realized that the diagnostic essay was nothing compared to what I had to go through in order to produce the best papers I could write for the class; this was because writing any academic paper is no joke to be taken lightly.
