Beyond Junior Seminar
True or False. I can wait until next semester to put in the work for my capstone project.
In this type of research, the authors collect their own data.
What are analytical sources?
This is a process that involves identifying and summarizing (paraphrasing) important material in the research article. It assists with identifying main ideas and evidence for your research topic and developing comparisons and contrasting points of your research.
What are annotations?
In this type of research, the focus involves measuring a concept or construct and can be expressed numerically.
What is quantitative research?
What part of the research paper list the analysis of your data?
What is the Results section?
True or False. In the junior seminar, students will create a draft of their Introduction section and find 15 analytical articles for their Literature Review.
Next, they will compare/contrast these articles for each of the 3 headings. Is this Introduction and Literature Review concluded?
What is No? In the Senior Seminar, students must refine the Introduction Section and use the annotations to develop paragraphs. Students do not have a comprehensive Literature Review developed as this requires developing paragraphs with topic and concluding sentences, identifying unanswered questions, and interpreting the literature. This is another step in the process.
Examples of this data include encounter data (claims data), data retrieved from another source, or Census data.
What is secondary data?
For purposes of your capstone project, we do not conduct research on adolescents/minors, pregnant women, incarcerated individuals, or individuals with cognitive/developmental impairments. Additionally, research topics that involve asking participants about mental health diagnoses and illicit substance usage are not appropriate for the capstone course.
What are vulnerable groups/populations?
In reviewing research articles, which parts of the article explains how data was collected in the research?
What is the abstract and Methods section?
This part of the capstone report includes the title of the paper, name, assignment name, course number, and university.
What is the title page?
In this course, students will write out the Introduction and Literature Review, and develop the Methodology section.
What is the senior seminar?
In the Introduction section, you may use which types of articles?
What is descriptive and analytical articles?
This process involves identifying what the research is about, how it was conducted, and the findings.
What is a literature review? Your capstone paper requires that you utilize 15 analytical sources in your literature review.
In this type of research design, the focus involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data and seeks to understand people's social reality.
What is qualitative research?
This section of the paper identifies limitations identified in conducting the research and provides suggestions for improving the research for future researchers.
What is the Recommendations and Conclusions section?
True or False. Students are not required to collect their own data and can find this data by reviewing the literature.
In this section of your paper, you must use only analytical sources (researchers collected their own data)?
What is the Literature Review Section?
These articles have been reviewed by other experts in the same field before publication to ensure accuracy and reliability.
What are peer reviewed articles?
This research combines numerical and descriptive data collection.
What is mixed-method research?
This section of the capstone report identifies major findings from your research and addresses how your research is different from other research, similar to other research, or presents a new question not identified in past research.
What is the discussion section?
In this seminar course, students will collect their own data, analyze their findings, and conclude their capstone report.
What is the capstone course?
How many analytical articles (articles in which the researcher collected their own data) are required for the literature review section of your paper?
What is 15 articles?
What is 15? Each analytical article (researcher collected their own data) will be annotated.
Your research project requires that you collect your own data to complete the assignment. Identify the minimum sample size for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method.
What is 30 (quantitative), 20 (mixed-method), and 12 (qualitative)?
Quantitative- minimum sample size of 30
Qualitative-minimum sample size of 12
Mixed- Method- minimum sample size of 20
List all of the required components of your capstone paper.
What is the title page, abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussions, recommendations and conclusions, and reference pages?
