One such strategy is to understand the components, or pieces, of the dissertation and their purposes before beginning research writing. Doing so will […]

Data Saturation

A major strategy of improving data saturation is making sure the recruited units for sampling have achieved saturation point (Patton, 2015). Likewise, this process means reaching a point in which all the relevant data of the research analysis have been obtained. For example, the recruited sample of patients with Alzheimer dementia have reached a basis […]
