I found it
particularly interesting that the solicitors outside the library were
noted. This aids to a complete collection of data. It could, however,
perhaps have been noted the cases of interferences or the number of
vehicles that used the library drop off point that could potentially cause
interference. But some of the proposals, like the ten minute drop off
parking spots, can help to correct some of the problems and thus the
research paper accomplishes its main goal.
The strongest point of this research report is its clarity. It is
very clear in its purpose, intent, methods, and findings. The second
strongest point is the visual evidence. Pictures are presented to show the
findings so there are no questions as to what is being described. Another
strength is the clarity and proper grammar of the report. This contributes
to impact of the report. A fourth strength is the significance. The one
sentence is very strong and leads the read to believe the report is
necessary. A fifth strength is the graphics created by the researcher.
The graphics that help to illustrate the points being made, contribute to
the understanding of the report. The photos are also well labeled with
corresponding graphics and this contributes to the report's clarity...
One weakness is
found in the introduction. The introduction lists the types of traffic
that come to the front of the library and it lists positive traffic.
However, it then goes on to list negative traffic and it does so in the
same manner it lists the positive traffic. There should be some sort of
break between the two as the change is very abrupt. A better transition is
necessary. Another problem with the research study is the time of the day
the observations were made- they are all midday around lunchtime. The
study would be more complete with a variety of times used to make
observations. A third weakness is that the design concepts could be better
articulated. Potential signs and graphics are presented, and further
elaboration could help to make the points more clear. A fourth weakness is
the aforementioned problem of connecting the research design to the
findings to allow for better clarification on the categories chosen for the
findings. The fifth weakness in this report is that the problem, while I
was convinced that it is a problem, seems to become less of a problem after
the research. The obstacles to the library entrance were not major.
Validity, in essence, has got to do with the extent to which a given research study measures the accuracy of a specific concept – effectively meaning that a study can be said to have passed the validity test if it accurately mirrors that which the researchers set about to investigate. In quantitative research, as Polit and Beck (2012) point out, “researchers strive to design studies that are strong with respect
Quantitative Research Critique Part I Introduction It is important to note, from the onset, that the health and wellbeing of women is often impacted upon negatively by intimate partner violence (IPV). In the past, various research studies have attempted to not only assess the impact of IPV on the health and wellbeing of women, but also the strategies that ought to be implemented in seeking to care for victims of IPV. In
Companies frequently fall in love with the data-rich results and think that the results are projectable. This supposition is wrong. Projectabilty is not possible, as the analysis is slanted and deals with a small size. Another general misapprehension is the belief that qualitative research will always give perfect deductions. Actually, the results will not give companies with perfect deductions, but only with adequate information to set up a firm
Assessing the quality of quantitative research Question 1: Study purpose/question (a) Did the study have a clearly stated purpose/research question? Yes (b) Explain your response below: The study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of the mobile service so as to determine the most suitable sample size and to refine
Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research A comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative research designs In the conduct of sociological research, the qualitative and quantitative research designs remain the predominant structures in which scientific studies on social phenomena are discovered, analyzed, and interpreted. However, the emergence of quantitative research design prior to the development of the qualitative design created a dichotomy in the field of social science research, wherein preferences for each research design
grades of students' team taught and student not team taught in the MAE504 course at taking Trident University. In the quantitative research, carrying out a statistical analysis to answer the research question can be challenging for many students. The study discusses different statistical tools that can be used to analyze the data to compare the variable team taught students and variable non-team students. The discussion will assist students in
