• The absence of some group members for a long period of time again, let the group down as the practical was unable to be completed without the results.
• The group discussions about the data collections and changes that needed to be made were also missed by some group members due to their absence. This made the data vary by some group members not naming healthy or unhealthy products or not counting the amount of healthy and unhealthy products at or above eye level.
• The comparison to the results also became difficult. The lack of communication within the group as some members would have forgotten to mention healthy or unhealthy foods, not count the foods at all or any detailed information on the products and their advertising. This let down strong discussion in the practical as more correct data would have made better and clearer patterns

    Small Claims Court Essay

    The article of the Small Claims Court was an article that dissected what television shows like Judge Judy does to the general public and beyond. This article focused on juries that were in Manhattan, the District of Columbia and Hackensack, New Jersey. However, it would have been interesting for the article to have polled other cities that were not in the northeast of the United States. I believe that if they would had used more different regions in the study, it could have been more complete and perhaps different, given that the study could have found more detailed, thorough findings. The reason it may be different in other regions in the United States is, since some other people may not have watched shows like Judge Judy or they…

    The scientific method is a systematic method of observation that involves asking a question, doing research on said question; developing a hypothesis and testing it by experimentation and drawing and reporting conclusions made by the experiment. Overall, Dr. E did not follow the scientific method. He didn’t do any research into his question; other than his own exercise habits and his discussions with his maternal grandmother he didn’t know a lot about health research and hadn’t worked with older adults. He did formulate a hypothesis - that adults over the age of 65 who exercised regularly and ate healthy diets would live longer because they had a healthier lifestyle. He tested his hypothesis, although his experiment was deeply flawed, and was unable to draw any conclusions from his research.…

    4.3 Strengths and limitations The Graandioos study is a noteworthy contribution to existing literature on whole grains, because a double-blind randomized controlled trial provides a lot of definitive evidence. The comprehensive phenotyping approach with multiple assessed variables gave a complete picture of the impact of WGW on health. The use of a nutritional challenge in combination with a dietary intervention is a key strength of present study, as this metabolic challenge magnified the difficult measurable effects of whole grains [29, 70]. Other key strengths of this study are the long duration and the four weeks run-in period prior to intervention. Blinding of the participants succeeded as they were unaware of the particular products tested,…
