Final assignment submitted

Final assignment completed and submitted! So happy to be finished. This paper was a lot of work. I ended up modifying even the research questions.

Week 7 assignment submitted

I just submitted my assignment for week 7. I spent a lot of time on the assignment - last night, I "pulled" an all-nighter to complete it. I had to work through some design details/issues. The paper certainly helped me. I now understand qualitative and quantitative research designs a whole lot more!

Work continues.......

Work continues on my assignment for this week. I have a lot of work to do. Hopefully, by the end of today I will have a good draft.

STATUS: About to work on my assignment for the week.
INTERESTING TIDBIT: We make a lot of decisions in life. Some may not always make sense (or seem smart) to others. For example, why use a slow cooker when a pressure cooker would be faster and produce the same result? Why use black and white when studies show people prefer color? Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker, The Right Color, and Black and White are some of my Pinterest boards/categories (profile: https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/). Interesting.

Week 6 assignment completed

After thinking for a while about the best approach for my proposed research, I concluded that a mixed methods study is best. I decided to include a very brief discussion on changes that will be required for a quantitative study (I personally prefer quantitative over qualitative). I await feedback from the professor. I think he will have a lot to say about the paper.

Paper: Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research

Work continues

I'm about to continue working on my assignment. I have a few questions that should work themselves out as I write/work on the paper. For example, from the assignment description, it seems that the student must choose between qualitative and quantitative. However, the template has three options: qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. I usually do not contact the professor with questions. This professor provides a lot of good feedback. Maybe he included a related tip for this week's assignment in last week's feedback. I'll check.

Week 5 assignment completed and submitted

I was up all night working on the week 5 assignment. Assignment now completed!

Paper: Observational Methods in Research

Making progress without the book

Even though I did not have the book, I researched/read about observational methods (experimental designs) used in related studies. Observational methods is the topic for this week's paper. I found some good articles. I think I'll be okay.
