RSH9102B: Worldviews, updated
Sunday, October 11th, 2009I received activity 1 paper back, called “Discuss Worldviews,” and was pleased to find that I earned a 10/10. I suppose I am always nervous about assignments, but have been able to keep a 4.0 during my work at NCU. I am ready to start on activity 2, “Facts and Theory, Concepts, and Variables,” yet dreading it at the same time. This next assignment is an “answer the questions” assignment…the type that I absolutely do not like. I am supposed to read the Zikmund text and answer questions 1-9 on page 51. Ugh. The next assignments will be:
3 – Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
4 – External, Internal, and Construct Validity
5 – Measurement and Scaling Concepts
6 – CITI Course and Ethics Paper
7 – Design a Research Study Plan
8 – Experimental Research
9 – Exploratory Research
10 – Mixed Methods Research
11 – Three Hypothetical Designs
12 – Propose a Research Method and Design
I am taking some vacation time this week and hope to knock out a few of these papers. When classes have so many assignments, it really pushes the course to its max length because professors are given a certain number of days to grade papers. If I have several completed then I can turn them in back to back with returned assignments.
