...Ethnographic Observation TSL 4520 Grading Rubric Background (Milde, R., 2001) Common wisdom tells us that there are, in general, two kinds of writing: creative and expository. Creative writing tells about feelings, opinions, points of view, things that originate inside the writer. Expository essays tell about facts, things outside of the writer. Essays on literature examine a literary text, a thing outside the writer. Lab reports describe experiments with chemicals and other stuff that really exists and can be measured. Research is factual; fiction, poetry, and the personal story are emotional. Wrong. Writing is not that simple. The farther you go in your academic or professional career, the less you are able to simply report what you see. The more you know about your chosen field, the more you realize that the researcher argues for his/her point of view even as he/she reports the facts. When we ask how to provide medical care, how to enforce the law, how to work in the legal profession, how to do science, how to educate children – when we ask how any profession should be done – there is always more than one possible answer. We have to decide which answers work best, and the research almost always provides some evidence for both (or many) sides. Facts mean nothing without interpretation – we have to decide what the facts mean, what their consequences are. So we need to get used to using facts, not just reporting them. We need to write expository essays that include...

... Abstract The following research personal derives from Solomon Asch's conformity study. The study reflects how human subjects conform to the majority social influence of their peers. The study design was in a controlled laboratory experiment. The following proposal is to determine if subjects will decrease or increase the level of conformity outside a controlled environment. Psychology in Action Part V There are benefits of a controlled laboratory experiment which researches control the variables such as Asch's Opinions and Social Pressures study. The study does have further questions and follow-up studies to determine the magnitude of conformity as a social phenomenon. The social phenomenon of group conformity in a controlled environment has provided further issues to examine. Even though conformity may not increase outside a controlled environment, subjects may conform more outside a controlled environment because subjects conform easily inside a controlled environment. Research Proposal To: From: Date: Subject: Research proposal Research Question: Will subjects be more willing to conformity outside a controlled environment? Thesis: Even though conformity may not increase outside of a controlled environment, subjects may conform more outside a controlled environment because subjects conform easily inside a controlled environment.

...spectra alone (IR, NMR, etc.), the spectra typically must be supplemented with other information about the compound: physical state and properties (melting point, boiling point, solubility, odor, color, etc.), elemental analysis, and confirmatory tests for functional groups. In this experiment you will carry out several qualitative tests that will allow you to identify functional groups in organic molecules. You will then apply what you have learned by characterizing unknown organic compounds in terms of their functional group and solubility behavior. The functional groups you will examine include amines, alcohols, carboxylic acids, alkenes, alkanes, and alkyl halides. Solubility and Functional Group Tests Each functional group has a particular set of chemical properties that allow it to be identified. Some of these properties can be demonstrated by observing solubility behavior, while others can be seen in chemical reactions that are accompanied by color changes, precipitate formation, or other visible effects. 1. Solubility Tests The solubility of an organic compound in water, dilute acid, or dilute base can provide useful information about the presence or absence of certain functional groups. A flowchart showing the sequence of solubility tests along with the appropriate conclusions is shown in Figure 1. Solubility in water: Most organic compounds are not soluble in water, except for low molecular-weight amines and oxygen-containing compounds. Low...

An interest to teachers is grasping at students for involvement in experiments, and for students gain an opportunity to applying their skills to assess their observations empirically. Researchers observe the participants over a quantitative research, considering various styles, and techniques for data collecting. This study was an observation. Results will determine that the students build an improved understanding between the proposals created before the experiment and after the assessment to establish quality work. The study is an experimental research, in which “intervention by the researcher beyond that is required for measurements to determine the effect on another variable” (Cooper & Schindler, 2006, p. 709). The researchers placed the participants into teams, and the teams picked a topic taught in class, and create a proposal. In this paper, the attention is on the method, independent and dependent variable, observation techniques, and the sampling plan. Method Chang, Lee, Lin, and Sung, from the national Taiwan Normal University conducted this study. The study consisted...

...A. General Comments I conducted my observation at the CSUN Child and Family Studies Center on April 13, 2018 from 2:40 until 4:50 PM. When I arrived for the observation, the children were playing outside in several different areas. There were approximately 50 students between the ages of about 3 or 4 with about 8-10 teachers. There were a lot of children because it was their outdoor play time for two other classes. I spent time sitting by the sandbox, climbing structure, and swings. They were outside for about an hour before the classes split up for their own activities. I then observed a classroom setting for an hour with 4 teachers and about 10-12 children. There is a room with a one way window in which I can see the children and teachers...

...Self-Reflective Paper This paper will reflect my performance from taking certain test from the open learn-brain stretcher testing site. Based on the scores of the memory test I think that scored good on all aspects of the test. The test is broken into section: Words, Observation, Objects, and Visual and Auditory. Word section was very funny because I was trying to just look at the word and memorize the word from memory instead of finding a pattern or something in common with each word that would have help me memorize it and score better on the test. Observation section showed me that I observe words very well and I am able to group the words in smaller and similar category to help me remember what I say in the list. My long term memory is terrible because I had just looked at the words but forgot that quickly. I had to take the test more than one time. That is not good at all. Object section requires you to see pictures of different objects in a 2 minute time frame. The test requires you to remember and name the objects that you had just seen. I scored very well with this test. I was able to list all but two of the objects. I was able to group the objects together into smaller groups and put into groups of classification. Visual & Auditory section tested you on your observation of certain things and how you were able to recall it. Based on the scores of my memory test I could improve in the area of public places and being aware of my surroundings. Based on...

...In-Vivo Observation Paper Rebecca A. Galloway Anderson University In-Vivo Observation Paper American high schools today have their own sets of cliques, who not only threaten parental authority, but often come with undesired changes in adolescent behavior. During adolescent years, students obtain membership in a clique in order to avoid anonymity and make the transition to secondary school easier. The types of cliques found in a school vary significantly because of the variation in adolescents’ personalities, which are encouraged in these cliques. Some typical types of teen cliques that are observed include: geeks, jocks, outsiders, hipsters, preps, and nerds. An in-vivo observation was conducted at Riverside High School in Greenville, South Carolina of both preps and nerds in a tenth grade social studies classroom. Both groups consisted of four girls, which at the time of observation, were working on a cooperative learning activity involving the history of the United States. This activity involved making a timeline of the American Civil War between the Union and Confederate armies and reconstruction. For the prep group, a powerful, yet unstable social hierarchy occurred that structured the interactions between group members; rare is the group where all members enjoy equal amounts of authority, status differentiation almost always takes place. One member was observed to be the leader or “queen bee,” two sidekicks, and another a floater. The leader first maintained power...
