The viva voce examination is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the various statistical parts of this double module. The Viva Voce will last 25 minutes. At the start of the viva, the student will be asked to choose and explain an analysis that he/she feels very comfortable with (e.g., one-way repeated measures ANOVA). The student will then be asked to choose one more analysis, which will be as complex as the student feels comfortable dealing with. The tutor will ask questions to clarify understanding where appropriate throughout. Students are strongly encouraged to use their annotated portfolio to help them in their explanations and to demonstrate their understanding of the analyses. However, the portfolio should be a support rather than a crutch. The specific assessment criteria for this examination are detailed below. Assessment Criteria In order to obtain an A in this examination, students will demonstrate an in-depth understanding of each of the analyses. These analyses will typically include at least one of the more complex analyses (e.g., M...
From a proud Conquistador, to a castaway, a slave and trader, and then medicine man, Cabeza de Vaca was the first European to explore much of the southern coast of Texas. Cabeza was a 37 year old military veteran in 1527 when he left on the Narvaez Expedition to find gold and colonize the Gulf Coast. He was the expedition’s treasurer. Cabeza de Vaca was enslaved by Indians in 1528 when one of the rafts the crew made crashed on present day Galveston island, he then escaped in 1530 and joined/was enslaved by another tribe called the Charrucos until his escape with 3 other survivors in 1534. He then walked to Mexico City. Cabeza survived this ordeal because of the incredible patience he had, his skills of diplomacy and goodwill, and his amazing wilderness survival skills.
In 1685 there sparked a new age in Europe, the Enlightenment. During this time enlightened thinkers brought forth enhanced ideas of equality. Men, woman, rich, poor, monarchy, or peasant, everyone should have equal rights. In 1789 France was especially influenced by the new ideals. The french realized that they were still following the social ladder of the feudal system. They could not buy bread because of the raised prices, but the Monarchy was eating a feast for every meal. They had no say in what happened to their government, and their inadequate king kept making poor decisions. You might even say they took the enlightenment to the next level and started a revolution based on equality. Although the french were fighting for freedom (like the enlightened thinkers), they were not using reason or tolerance, two key elements of the Enlightenment.
From the start of the American Civil War, 1860, until the end of the Reconstruction, 1877, the United States of America endured what can be considered a revolution. Prior to the year 1860, there was a lack of union because of central government power flourishing rather than state power. Therefore, there was a split of opposite sides, North and South, fighting for authority. One major issue that came into mind was of slavery. At first, there were enactments that were issued to limit or rather prevent conflict to erupt, such as the numerous compromises, Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850. They did not fulfill the needs of the states, South states in particular; therefore, in the year 1860, the Civil War had commenced. There was the issue of inequality of Blacks in suffrage, politics, and the use of public facilities. However, much constitutional and social advancement in the period culminated in the revolution. To a radical extent, constitutional development between 1860 and 1877 amount to a revolution because of events like the Emancipation Proclamation, Civil Rights Act, the amendments that tried to change African Americans lives in American Society and contributed to get the union together. There is the social developments as well that to a lesser extent had amounted to the revolution because of organizations like the Klu Klux Klan, Freedmen’s Bureau lacking, and discrimination against African Americans that caused progression of violence and white supremacy.
Step 3 is defining the evaluation objective, which is “a general statement that conveys the purpose of the planned study in precise terms” (DiClemente et al., 2013, pp. 300). Goals are more manageable when evaluation objectives are precise and contain applicable information. This ensures that the e...
The Papanicolaou test in medical terms can also be known as or be called as the Pap smear, pap test, or smear test. It is a microscopic examination of cell .The purpose of this test is to perceive occurring of precancerous or existing cancerous cells in the opening uterus of the cervix. It also discerns asymmetry in the cells of the cervix (the bottom, narrow end of the uterus.)[1]
Identify the hypothesis (testable question) that the study was trying to answer and describe the methods of research used in each study.
In response to the question set, I will go into detail of the study, consisting of the background, main hypotheses, as well the aims, procedure and results gathered from the study; explaining the four research methods chosen to investigate, furthering into the three methods actually tested.
Later that year, I was accepted into Spanish Honors Society, a volunteer based program to help out the Spanish communities near my school along with volunteering to help raise money for organizations that help less developed countries. One particular project that I helped raise money for through Spanish Honors Society, was Project Running Waters. The money raised for this event was donated to help people living in Guatemala receive fresh water through pipe systems that would be built. We raised over one thousand dollars to donate to this cause. Knowing that I can positively impact individuals in my community and in other countries makes me feel like I have grown maturely and am able to understand what needs to be done to make a difference to

The ideas of the Enlightenment influenced parts of Europe’s political landscape differently, roaming from areas with little to no actual progress, to governments that worked to abolish out of date and archaic laws, to places that actively began to value and create new laws and ideas to protect and work toward social liberty.
America in the 1920’s was a time of great change for its citizens. As incomes and living standards rose, Americans were freely able to enjoy new forms technology and entertainment like never before. But there was also a battle for the moral soul of America brewing underneath. One of the last pushes of the progressive movement was the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. It was supposed to be a measure to eliminate some of the vices in the American culture by making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcoholic beverages. Enforcement of the law however, was difficult and it faced opposition in many states and cities, especially northern cities. With law enforcement unable to fully enforce the law, bootleggers smuggled liquor from the West Indies and Canada, while speakeasies sprung up to provide alcohol illegally. Organized crime expanded to deal with the now lucrative business and they controlled the distribution of alcohol in major American cities, and gangsters such as Al Capone made a fortune while law enforcement officials often looked the other way. Prohibition fueled much debate within the United States until its repeal in 1933.
The primary factors that are important in conducting statistical test are variables (categorical or quantitative) and the number of (IVs) independent variables and (DVs) dependant variables. To facilitate the identification process the chapter provides two decision- making tools so that it is easier to make a decision. The chapter presents the decision making tools and gives an overview of the statistical techniques addressed in this text as well as basic univariate test, all of which will be organized by the four types of research questions: degree of relationship, significance of group differences, prediction of group membership, and structure. Statistical test that analyze the degree of relationship include bivariate correlation and regression, multiple regression and path analysis. Research questions addressing degree of relationship all have quantitative variables. Methods that examine the significance of group differences are t test, one-way and factorial ANOVA, one-way and factorial ANCOVA, one- way and factorial MANOVA, and one-way and factorial MANCOVA. Research questions that address group differences have categorical IVs. Statistical tests that predict group membership are discriminate analysis and logistic regression. Research questions that address prediction of group membership have a categorical DV. Statistical
A two-phase sequential explanatory strategy was used for the study. The two- phases are ordered in the sequence that was proposed as priority was placed on quantitative data collection and analysis. In the second phase, qualitative data was collected and used to refine the results of the quantitative data presented in the first phase.
