¶ … strengths of these Introduction sections?
Both of these Introductions provides strong definitions of the subjects they are assessing. The study on teleworking at FedEx, for example, does a good job of defining teleworking and its history, going back to telecomputing. It also defines clearly what FedEx is and how it came into being, although this part feels a little superfluous because the paper is mainly about teleworking at FedEx (and tidbits about how FedEx's founder had the idea in college seem unnecessary). The other study also clearly defines terms and that helps to show the reader what the study is about and how it is going to proceed. Everything is laid out accordingly and in a proper order in both Introductory sections, which makes for easy and coherent and logical reading.
What more would you like to know after reading these Introduction sections? In other words what additional information might have the students included to better help the reader understand the research study?
In the study on teleworking, the Introduction could have used more information on the problem that was being addressed. There was no information on the actual purpose of the study, who it was for, who it would benefit, what its approach was, what it intended to show or prove -- or anything like that. It is basically set up like a book report on FedEx and teleworking.

The only question I had was why the researcher chose City Utilities as the subject of the study. This knowledge would not necessarily have contributed anything to the study but it would have simply clarified why this subject was chosen. Was it for the sake of proximity to the researcher? Because the researcher had special access to it? Some other reason? The reason would have put some light on this subject, but instead I was left wondering what was significant about City Utilities and why the researcher should choose it to focus on.
3. How does your review of these Introduction sections help you better understand the Introduction you will write for your own research project?
By reviewing these introductions, I have a better sense of what to write for my own research project. I should have sections that tell the reader how the study will unfold -- so there will be a section for definitions, for purpose, for audience, for problem that is being addressed, and one for what the study is going to look like in the following chapters. Everything should be clear so that the reader is not left wondering about anything. Likewise, in my study, if I choose a specific group and place to look at and examine, I should include the reason why I am choosing it, why it is significant and what it means. There are implications to be drawn from every choice in…
Students do not want to write because it is boring or tedious to them. But most of all, students do not want to write because they are afraid that they cannot do it. They have been given years worth of papers marked up in red where the teacher was trying to take their voices and make them her own. If teachers understand that writing can be learned by every
While writing to demonstrate learning is the most common goal of any writing assignment, instructors may also wish to encourage assignments that involve writing to learn. These low-stakes assignments will allow students to explore ideas and issues that will help guide them in their learning. As indicated by Farris & Smith (1992), a WAC program can help establish criteria for writing-intensive courses, consult in the design of the courses,
Michael Krause has written a new book that provides eight sales strategies that are supposed to help increase sales, engendered a more motivated sales staff, and help sustain both. The eight strategies are: USP and UVP; Strategic planning; SWOT analysis; Engage your ideal clients; Build a cash reserve; Core capabilities and realistic goal setting; Balanced scoreboard, and; Do you have what it takes? The author looks at the entire organization
As the teacher questioned the need to continue to increase voltage, the experimenter encouraged the teacher to persist. For example, when the teacher questioned the experimenter about possible harm, the experimenter assumed full responsibility and reassured the teacher that the shocks were not harmful. Further, if a teacher tried to quit, the experimenter would use verbal prods to encourage continued participation; one of these was, "You have no other
Manage Postgraduate Study Before going on the discussion for managing the postgraduate study program it's important to understand what the postgraduate is. After the Bachelor's degree, the Master's or doctoral degree, or a postgraduate diploma or certificate taken up for higher studies are part of postgraduate program. The level of difficulty of the postgraduate study program depends upon the subject or research work taken and the kind of exposure possessed
Stress in the Workplace The research topic under discussion is Stress at Workplace. Stress comes with different definitions, one of which is that stress is a 'physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.' Emotional stress relates to job burnout, tension and strain and many scholars have called it a psychological process and linked it with the individual and the situation that he is in (American Psychological Association,
