Many of our today’s knowledge of facts and findings are being achieved via the burden of experimentations and making quantities or measurements. Some of the measurements done by other researchers may be called unaccepted value of error or may have missing details. However, I believed errors occur in many aspects of conducting research. For example, […]
An oral defense is an opportunity for you to demonstrate how much you know about your subject area. It is also a time for the committee to come together and, at the proposal stage, articulate their suggestions and concerns for your project. Your final oral defense is a time for the committee to “quiz” you […]
A dissertation committee is a team that works together to help you complete a scholarly work – your dissertation. Teams are great because with a team you can assemble people with different areas of expertise that will result in the best work possible. Teams can be difficult because you (as the writer) may feel as […]
Think of your prospectus as your working paper of your idea. It is your blueprint, however, it does need full committee approval and approval from Academic Review. Your proposal is Chapters 1-3 of your dissertation. Again, this needs full committee approval and approval from Academic Review. This is the fine print of your blueprint. You […]
What is a Dissertation and when do I need to start thinking about mine? A dissertation is an original paper that critically evaluates and summarizes an area of research, identifies a problem (or gap in the research), proposes and then conducts an original study that aims to find solutions to this identified problem. Thus, the […]
As a lay audience, it is possible to understand what it meant to be positively correlated or negatively correlated. Pearson correlation coefficient has a standard index with a range value from -1.0 to +1.0, and with 0 specifying no relationship (Laureate Education, 2016b). The closer we move to the value of 1 the stronger the […]
As its name implies, confidence intervals provide a range of values, along with a level of confidence, to serve as an estimate of some unknown population value. Since it is rare to have access to the entire population, you must frequently rely on the confidence interval of the sample to make some inference about the […]
Project Ready Smile (PRS) provides services to children in selected early childhood settings in the six targeted counties in Missouri. ECC or early childhood carriers sites agree to support the project while providing access to children. Children were found with abscesses and tooth decay that had already spread through their mouth. PRS is an initiative […]
I was especially entice by how the literature review is an essential part of a research process and a key component of dissertational process. It informs what is known about a research topic and what might benefit from further exploration (Creswell, 2009). One such strategy is to understand the mechanisms, or pieces, of the dissertation and […]
There are regulations and exceptions involved in HIPPA in the use of partial medical records in study research (Krishna, Kelleher & Stahlberg, 2007). For instance, in the U.S, present privacy provision on the use of protected health data for research purposes under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) split medical records in 3 […]
