   2. Evaluate the research and discuss areas of strength and areas of weakness in the study design, research process, and interpretation and description of the results.

Additional Comments from my Professor: 

HI CLASS!

I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME OF MY EXPECTATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL ANALYSES IN THE REAL WORLD ASSIGNMENT (U09A1) THAT YOU WILL DO THIS WEEK.

FIRST, BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR PAPER TO TURNITIN AND GET AN ORIGINALITY REPORT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR FINAL DRAFT TO ME.  IT IS MY EXPECTATION THAT YOUR MATCHING PERCENTAGE IS 30% OR LESS (EXCLUDING THE REFERENCE SECTION).  IF NOT, YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND REVISE YOUR IDEAS.

BE SURE TO PARAPHRASE AND CITE YOUR SOURCES.  DO NOT USE A LOT OF DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE YOU ARE USING. 

SECOND, I WILL NOT GRADE ANY ASSIGNMENTS UNTIL I HAVE THE TURNITIN REPORT TO REVIEW, SO BE SURE YOU ARE DOING THIS AND ARE SUBMITTING IT TO THE PROPER WEEK’S ASSIGNMENT.

THIRD, REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES TURNITIN MAY TAKE TIME TO GET A REPORT BACK TO YOU…BE SURE TO SUBMIT IT EARLY! FINALLY, BE SURE THAT YOUR ARTICLE IS QUANTITATIVE.  IF YOU USE AN ARTICLE THAT CONDUCTED SEVERAL STUDIES, FEEL FREE TO USE A SINGLE STUDY, AS LONG AS YOUR PAPER WILL MEET THE CRITERIA IN THE SCORING GUIDE.
