the University of Oklahoma. The aim of the study is to provide a better understanding between sleep quality and quality of life. Author Wong found that sleep quality has direct and indirect effects on college students ' intellectual functioning, medical and cognitive health (2013). Our study aims to provide insight on the ways in which sleep quality influences quality of life of undergraduate students at OU. Sample Frame, Population The sampling frame is undergraduate students enrolled at the…
need to learn (21). Mutnick and Lamos suggest that there are four major basic writer pedagogical approaches that go with theoretical changes since its conception. One of the four approaches is error centered, which is based on Shaughnessy’s theory of the logic of errors. They focus on the student’s errors he/she produces, view Standard Written English as “normative and neutral rather than ideological and culturally biased” and are still used to help students learn grammar conventions (22).…
The Text The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s earlier plays. The first recorded performance of the comedy was on December 28, 1594, as part of the Christmas festivities at Gray’s Inn in London. The exact date that the play was written is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that it was written sometime during 1589-1594 and between The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Love’s Labour’s Lost. It was first printed in the First Folio in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, and is…
Analytical Comparison of The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare and The Parent Trap by Nancy Meyers How has comic concerns and comic techniques developed and changed over time? As society innovates, the humor associated with that society innovates as well. This exploration illustrates the extent on which narratives, comic techniques, characters, and thematic concerns have changed with the passage of time by comparing The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare (pre-20th century) and The…
measured in a measuring cylinder to ensure that the amount of detergent added remains consistent. Increasing the sample size will increase precision, minimising the impact of random errors. Moreover, an average of the data could potentially reduce the effect of random errors on the data. The graph can be used to detect random errors through the amount of scattering in the results. Improvements could occur, with numerous trials, therefore, conducting an average of trials to minimise the effect of…
also indicated low scatter and high precision between increments as the average points are close to the line of best fit. As shown in the second graph comparing the linen of true value with the average line of best fit there is obvious systematic error in this experiment, the two lines are too far apart to suggest high accuracy in the results although both lines have a very low gradient showing that they share similar characteristics when the relationship between variable is…
According to Bachman & Schutt (2014): Research should expose participants to no more than minimal risk of personal harm, researchers should fully disclose the purposes of their research, participation in research should be voluntary, and therefore subjects must give their informed consent to participate in the research, and confidentiality must be maintained for individual research participants unless it is voluntarily and explicitly waived. (p. 60) Although Dr. Coswalt protects the research…
piece and leaving the other rings empty, to see if the baby would place that tricked ring on the pole. Evidently, the fifteen-month-old placed the trick ring on and realized it didn’t work and tried the other pieces. This method is known as trial and error. On the other hand, the eighteen-month-old baby was aware of the trick piece and avoided that piece altogether. Gopnik claims “as they got older and learned more about how the world worked, babies would behave entirely differently” (166). This…
If you want to get 100x better precision, you need 10,000x the number of measurements. In addition, there might be systematic errors that might for example depend on the person carrying out the measurement (reaction time) etc. Let’s explore a much more precise way of measuring velocity – photogates. We use two photogates that are connected to the computer. They consist of a little…
As the owner of a popular clothing establishment, it came to my attention during the weekly staff meeting that customer satisfaction was a concern the employees were voicing. This discussion led to the potential of performing a survey throughout our ten locations, which serve over two-hundred customer per day. The quandary is how we build this sample. When gathering satisfaction data from a population, such as the customers of a popular clothing store, surveys are very beneficial. However,…
