RSH9103QNB Quantitative Methods January 2, 2010
Posted by thinkphd in : RSH9103QNB , trackbackI turned in the first assignment today for RSH9103QNB, “Considering Questionnaire Design.” My mentor for this course is Dr M, and the course dates are Jan 1 through Mar 26. This first assignment was a book-question-and-answer set from Zikmund’s chapter 15.
The second assignment is “Hypothetical Questionnaire Design” in which I am to create a questionnaire based on my chosen dissertation topic. So I skipped this one (temporarily) and moved on to assignment 3, “Application of Editing and Coding Techniques.” This one is also a book-question-and-answer set, this time from Zikmund’s Chapter 19.
I won’t be able to turn in assignment 3 before doing and receiving back graded 1 and 2, but I am on a roll with those book questions. I want to re-research my topic some before I work on a survey for it.
I receive blog reader questions from time to time asking me how I set up for these book-question-and-answer sets. First, I type out every question in my paper so that when I refer back to the papers I know what the assignment was about. This has been very helpful as the assignments build on one another. It is simply of way of assisting with categorizing my responses. I use page break in MS Word between questions. By typing out the questions first, when I read I know what to focus on. Then, I read the entire chapter and any other links provided in the syllabus.
Most of the time, the questions are little essays, about a page, maybe two pages in length. I always use a lot of references, and follow APA rules, including voice. Of the 13 assignments in this class, 9 are book-question-and-answer type.

I’m trying to catch you, but you are moving too fast! I’m currently on Assignment 3 in 9102. My next course will be the same: 9103QNB

Just wondering how you handled asnwering a question such as #1 of RSH9103QNB that contains several parts starting from (a) to (I).
Do you write a “little essay” consisting of one to two pages that covers “all” of question #1, or one or two pages for each part from (a) to (i).
Hey Tom,
So that you get my response, I will email you privately, but also post a response.
Here’s my technique:
For textbook-question-and-answer assignments, I ALWAYS type out the questions first, and insert page breaks between. I type out the questions so that I know what they are when I refer back to them while writing and reviewing later (you will have final cumulative assignments in each class that build on the previous). I treat the (a) through (i) parts as though they are individual questions.
Check your email…..
Thanks for commenting!
I’m working on starting RSH9103QNB but have to get home from my current deployment… Can you guys send a copy of the syllabus or just the syllabus id number (when you open the syllabus from the course page, it is the last 5 digits of the web address).
Any help would be great!!
Thanks!!
Hi Ernie,
Check your email!!!
Hi Everyone, Could any of you guys send me a copy of RSH9103QNB syllabus to my email adrress krakrafaa@sbcglobal.net. this is my next course, I just need to prepare ahead of the challenges. Thinkphd, thank you for the effort in setting up such a network to discuss issues on this PhD program. May the Almighty God grant and bless all your efforts.
Regrads,
Kraf
I noticed you typed out your questions. I usually write a full APA paper. My last mentor, however, wanted the questions written and the answers below. Do you delete the questions when you submit your assignment, or do you leave the questions in? Have you had any problems with instructors requiring an APA paper and not have the questions listed?
Hi Jennifer,
I left the questions in - if the paper was a group of questions. If the paper was an essay (using questions to build on) then I did not leave in the questions. So if the instructions said page so-and-so, question numbers # through ## then I left them in.
Can anyone send me a copy of RSH9103 qualitative sylabus. please e-mail to me: hasanahmedmba@gmail.com
Thanks
