Re: Topic 1 DQ 2

GCU resources define plagiarism as the use of another person’s thoughts, words, ideas, quotations, phrases, etc. without giving proper acknowledgement to where the information came from. This could mean taking an exact quote and not giving the original author credit for it. This could mean taking some information from a source, putting it into your own words, and not citing where you got the information from. A third example of plagiarism is not citing correctly. All of these are serious offenses that could lead to failure of the assignment or more serious- getting expelled from school and not receiving your BSN. It is important to always give credit to where the credit is due. In the nursing profession, plagiarism happens quite frequently. Peggy Ward-Smith defines it as “scientific misconduct,” which includes the “fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or deception in proposing, carrying out or reporting results of research, and deliberate, dangerous or negligent deviations from accepted practice” (2016, p. 1). She continues to say that 98% of article retractions are due to plagiarism and 8.8- 26.4% of graduate nursing students self-report plagiarism (Ward-Smith, 2016). A few ways to avoid plagiarizing according to GCU resources include summarizing, paraphrasing, and/or quoting the original source, which are defined below. I plan to use all three of these things to ensure academic integrity in my work.

Summarizing is taking the original thought/idea and making it your own by using your own words. It specifically focuses on the main idea or the main argument in the piece of writing. Normally, a summary is much shorter than the original thought/idea.

Paraphrasing is when you replicate the exact content of the author’s original thought/idea using your own words. When paraphrasing, your idea should typically be just as long, if not longer than the ideas/thoughts of the original author’s.

For both summarizing and paraphrasing, you would want to say whose work you are referring to in the beginning, and at the end, you would want to source the original document.

Quoting is when you take a quote directly from the original piece of writing and put it into your paper. You would put this in quotations. It is a word for word phrase copied directly from the original author. You should not use quoting that often. It should only be used occasionally.

GCU resources also say that one thing that does not need to be cited is “common knowledge.” This refers to information that can easily be found in several sources.

In Peggy Ward-Smith’s article “Evidence-Based Nursing: When the Evidence Is Fraudulent,” she says there are two organizations that monitor publication fraud and scientific misconduct. These two organizations are: The Committee on Publication Ethics and The Retraction Watch (2016, p. 2). It is important to used evidence-based practice in the healthcare field as it allows healthcare individuals to make appropriate decisions and provide the best care possible to our patients. The initiative to use evidence-based practice began in the early 90s according to Ward-Smith (2016, p. 2). Plagiarizing can have put a negative effect on the public’s perception of nursing. If we plagiarize something, the public and our patient’s will not trust us. Being honest is part of being a good nurse in my opinion. Honesty and transparency are two things that healthcare individuals should possess, also in my opinion.

Complete the following:

  • Evaluate the authors’ data collection strategies based on their methodological approach.
    • What methodology and philosophic tradition did the authors use? (You may recall this from your course DIT8020.) How effective was this?
    • What is the population and sample size, and do they seem appropriate to the project?
    • How did the authors collect their data and recruit participants, and how successful was this strategy compared to other methods they might have used?
    • Did the authors select appropriate data collection strategies and methods, given their methodological approach and hypothesis?
  • Evaluate the authors’ data analysis strategies based on the methodological approach.
    • What  descriptive, graphical, and summary data analysis techniques did the  authors use?
    • Were  the techniques applied appropriately?
    • Did  the authors select appropriate data analysis strategies and methods, given their methodological approach and hypothesis?
    • How  valid and reliable were the results of their analysis?
  • Synthesize the results of the article, and provide sufficient and effective rationale as to why the authors did or did not achieve their research objective.
    • What  was the authors’ hypothesis?
    • What  were the authors’ assumptions? Which assumptions, if any, concern the distribution of data?
    • Are limitations detailed? If not, how does that affect the credibility of the statistical decision?
    • Do  the results indicate a decision, and was the decision to reject or accept  the hypothesis discussed?
    • Do  you agree with the statistical decision?
  • Evaluate  acceptability of the data analysis for research studies.
    • Is the research useful in relation to the existing research?
    • Are the opportunities and next steps identified appropriate for the research results?

Use the texts and presentations from this class, and those from your DIT8020 course, to support your arguments and reasoning.

Synthesis Paper Instructions

Reviewed for Fall D 2020 Aug 10 rc

The purposes of this assignment are to:

  • Demonstrate proper use of current APA format in a term paper.
  • Demonstrate proper use of one of the research methods studied in this course—specifically, the case study.
  • Reflect on what you have learned in this course and write about it.
  • Reflect on the course content as critiqued from a biblical, Christian perspective and write about it.
  • Note: Thinking and reflecting on what you have learned will take a considerable amount of time. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for this assignment.

Instructions: Using a case study approach, write a four to eight page research-based paper using yourself as the research subject by answering these three assigned research questions:

  • What have you learned about research at an introductory level?
  • How do you evaluate or critique this from a biblical, Christian perspective?
  • Describe the process you, the researcher, went through with this assignment, gathering information, deciding what to include, and so on.

These three questions above are deliberately not written as level one headings in APA formatting the way they appear above, however, a good way to organize your document would be to use these three ideas as appropriately written level one headings.  Add additional levels of headings as appropriate to organize your content.

You will use the APA skills that you honed during Module/Week 3, the case study skills you developed in Module/Week 5, and all the content you studied throughout all the modules/weeks of this course. Current APA format needs to be demonstrated in all aspects of this assignment. Proper APA formatting is required as part of the content of this assignment.

Your paper must include a properly-formatted title page, four to eight pages of content with correct APA formatting throughout, including proper citations and levels of headings, and a reference page. The title page and references page are in addition to the assigned four to eight pages of content. Maintain consistency between your citations and reference page. Your paper must include at least four references to sufficiently support your paper. Required references include your Introduction to Research textbook and the Publication Manual, and at least two additional scholarly references. You may also include additional content-related sources you would like to include that are part of what you learned in this course this term. Remember, use current APA format and paper elements for a student paper throughout (including your title page, appropriate vocabulary and sentence structure, introductory statement, in-text citations, page numbers, levels of headings throughout the document, a conclusion statement, and consistency between your in-text citations and references).

In addition to the scholarly sources described above, you may use your Discussion Board Forum posts and additional personal reflection. However, remember that you are writing a case study; you are not merely writing personal reflections as such.  Your answer will be unlike anyone else’s, and that is what is expected. Be sure to consult your Publication Manual for proper formatting for your in-text citations and references for these other sources.

Your assignment will be checked for plagiarism.

Think about what you have learned, reflect, synthesize, and write that synthesized reflection into a case study report about you.   Do not simply copy and paste together various previous assignments from our course and combine those to create this document.

Note: Some matching on the SafeAssign report is not unexpected. You will be citing sources that others may have used in other papers, so some matches might appear. Your instructor will be able to discern what is appropriate matching due to properly cited sources. This assignment is open-book/open-notes, open-Bible, open to discussion with friends, etc. Be sure to document your sources appropriately as in-text citations and as references when you use the textbook or other material from this course, personal interviews with friends, etc.

This assignment requires that you incorporate proper APA formatting throughout the document. Formatting errors will result in point deductions.

This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.

Questions and type of test: [For your selected sample, define two hypothesis questions and the appropriate type of test hypothesis for each. For each hypothesis question, answer questions 3a-c from the Project Two Guidelines and Rubric. This includes questions about the population parameter, your hypothesis, the inference method you will use, and how you will use estimation and confidence intervals to help you solve the problem.]

 

1-Tail Test

Hypothesis: [Define the population parameter. Write null and alternative hypotheses. Note: For means, define a hypothesis that is greater than the population parameter. Specify your significance level.]

Data analysis: [Summarize your sample data using appropriate graphical displays and summary statistics.]

[Provide at least one histogram of your sample data.]

[In a table, provide summary statistics including sample size, mean, median, and standard deviation.]

Note: For quartiles 1 and 3, use the quartile function in Excel:

=QUARTILE([data range], [quartile number])

[Summarize your sample data, describing the center, spread, and shape in context.]

[Note: For shape, think about the distribution: skewed or symmetric.]

[Check the assumptions by determining if the normal condition has been met. Determine if there are any other conditions that you should check and whether they have been met.]

[Note: Think about the central limit theorem and sampling methods.]

Hypothesis Test Calculations:

[Determine the appropriate test statistic (t).]

[Note: This calculation is (mean – target)/standard error. In this case, the mean is your regional mean, and the target is the national mean.]

[Calculate the probability (p value).]

[Note: This calculation is done with the T.DIST.RT function in Excel: =T.DIST.RT([test statistic], [degree of freedom]). The degree of freedom is calculated by subtracting 1 from your sample size.]

Interpretation:

[Relate the p value and significance level.]

[Make the correct decision (reject or fail to reject).]

Data Analysis:

[Summarize your sample data using appropriate graphical displays and summary statistics.]

[Provide at least one histogram of your sample data.]

[In a table, provide summary statistics including sample size, mean, and standard deviation.]

[Note: For quartiles 1 and 3, use the quartile function in Excel:

=QUARTILE([data range], [quartile number]) ]

[Summarize your sample data, describing the center, spread, and shape in comparison to the national information.]

[Note: For shape, think about the distribution: skewed or symmetric.]

[Check the assumptions by determining if the normal condition has been met. Determine if there are any other conditions that you should check and whether they have been met.]

Note: Think about the central limit theorem and sampling methods.

Hypothesis Test Calculations:

[Determine the appropriate test statistic (t).]

[Note: This calculation is (mean – target)/standard error. In this case, the mean is your regional mean, and the target is the national mean.]

[Calculate the probability (p value).]

[Note: This calculation is done with the TDIST.2T function in Excel: =T.DIST.RT([test statistic], [degree of freedom]). The degree of freedom is calculated by subtracting 1 from your sample size.]

Interpretation:

[Relate the p value and significance level.]

[Make the correct decision (reject or fail to reject).]

[Provide a conclusion in context to your hypothesis.]

Comparison of the Test Results:

[Calculate the 95% confidence interval and show or describe the method of calculation.]

[Interpret the confidence 95% confidence interval in context.]

Final Conclusions
