¶ … dispel the notion that many students have concerning research. That particular notion is that research can answer all questions. This particular paper attempts to clarify what types of questions research is able to address and when research is useful in healthcare (Beya & Nicoll, 1998, p. 1044).
There really is no formal introduction in the paper. Instead, this is a conceptual review article and does not follow the formal format of a research study. The paper covers several considerations that should be made in deciding whether particular question is amenable to a research study and then discusses how a research study should be approached.
There are no formal methodology or results sections in this paper. This paper is a conceptual paper describing the limitations of research studies and how good research studies should be constructed.
The part of the paper that best resembles a methodology has to do with the authors' recommendations regarding what should qualify as a researchable topic and how to approach developing a research study. The authors first note that research is not conducted in order to "prove" some particular point or hypothesis but that research is designed to answer specific questions. For instance, Beya and Nicoll (1998) note that a question like "should physician assistant suicide be legal" is not the type of question that could be addressed by empirical research (p. 1044). Instead they offer the reader a series...
Such questions can be helpful to potential researcher in deciding whether or not to formally address an issue with a research study.
The next issue the authors discuss is the consideration of ethics in research and whether or not a particular research study is ethical. Here the authors use the example of a randomized controlled study attempting to demonstrate that smoking causes cancer. Such a study would not be considered ethical using human participants (Beya & Nicoll, 1998).
Practicality in designing research to answer particular questions is the next issue the authors address. The authors offer a list of considerations such as does the researcher have the time to perform the research are the right participants available etc. For potential researchers to consider before deciding whether their question should be investigated with the research study and whether (Beya & Nicoll, 1998, p. 1045). The authors then discuss issues with gathering participants, making sure that participants are given informed consent, if the potential participants are right for the particular research question involved, and the site that the research will be conducted on is appropriate. Finally, the authors discuss whether a particular question can feasibly be answered with a research study and offer suggestions as to how to determine that such as…

Sleeters (2009) research helped to indentify and address some important issues within the realm of education, and specifically addressed the challenges and biases that these teachers hold when developing curriculum for the students. The purpose of this article review is to account for the arguments presented in the aforementioned article and develop some independent analysis that can be helpful in applying the data in more a practical and localized fashion.
In their second survey, the authors found that the majority of students felt that PROJECT 10 had been positive and beneficial - not merely for LGBT students, but for the overall educational environment. This resonates with one of the conclusions reached by Sedgwick (1993) when she offered her first class in gay and lesbian studies at Amherst College in 1986. While she initially designed the course for the five to

Catholic church and public policy have remarked that the members of American clergy in general, without even excepting those who do not admit religious liberty, are all in favour of civil freedom; but they do not support any particular political system. They keep aloof from parties, and from public affairs. In the United States religion exercises but little influence upon laws, and upon the details of public opinion; but it
As the vast majority of African-Americans do not know where their ancestors came from, it is difficult to trace one's roots back to the African continent. At the same time, the United States, while certainly the nation that nearly every African-American would consider to be home, has hardly been hospitable to African-Americans throughout history. Even today, nearly a quarter of all African-American families in the United States live below
post-revolutionary French art, and are titled; Nudity a La Grecque in 1799 and Colonization Gross's Plague-Stricken Jaffa share some fundamental commonalities. The similarities that these two articles share are their methodology, formal artistic analysis and their account and implicit description of the relationship between art and social history. Both of these articles also provide historical accounts of artistic criticism of post-Revolutionary history painting. Most significantly Grisby's articles provide a
