Assignment 11, Completed Research Paper

Hi all,

I think I am finally done with the 5 part research paper. I have uploaded the paper to my website and here is the link to the web page that contains the paper.

ETEC 543 Research Paper

Please take a look at let me know your thoughts. I am not sure about the formatting of the paper (ie. if I was supposed to use indentions for new paragraphs, or titles for the new sections, or even advancing the sections to the next page). Does anyone else know about the formatting issues of the paper? Are we supposed to leave the headings in for the 5 sections? Is the paper supposed to be double spaced?

Good luck to everyone else with completion of the research paper for the class.

James

James,

Congratulations on finishing this. Nice and early in the morning, so you have the whole weekend to breathe free.

I am not going to post the whole paper, as you have done. My understanding is that this isn't required. I'll post my Assignment 11 today, and wait to see if there is a consensus that we're supposed to re-assemble and post the whole thing. And then I'll wait for Dr. N to confirm. I'm sure he said not to do that. (However, I can understand wanting to do that, in order to have a complete paper to include in folders and portfolios.)

You have a minor typo in the first paragraph -- "is" vs. "in" -- but I only skimmed beyond that.

(I don't get more points for posting twice, do I?)

I re-read the directions. We definitely are expected to post the complete paper, under the title on this post.

I posted my Intro, Results, Discussion. Readers, you're welcome to go there and critique:

Hi James, Thanks for the comments on my paper. I think all of my paper needs better titles for the paper itself and the references and the appendix. But let's talk about you! I was intrigued by your observation in the Introduction that we were researching the types of technology that students AND teachers prefer. If you assume that teachers want to teach in the way their students learn best we were researching both, even though I hadn't considered that angle. My other pause came in your Discussion section when you assert adult learners really want to learn the content and not simply move on. I have to admit vacillating on this point, and it depends on the class focus. Honestly, I'm just not interested in everything I'm required to learn. This class changed my mind about research in general, and I would be interested in delving a little deeper(no one is more surprised than me). Thanks again for all your insights, helpful comments, early postings, and the positive thoughts.

Hi James,
Great job on completing your paper, and thanks for doing it early as you are such a great role model for the logistics of getting assignments done. I share your questions about the formatting of the paper, and I do not have a solution as of yet. At first I tried removing the headings from my literature review section, because I didn't think they looked "formal" enough. But now I am going to put the headings back, because I like the structure and clarity they provide. This question raises the issue of appropriate formatting for different media. What works for a blog post may or may not be appropriate for a formal research paper. I don't know the answer. Perhaps this is a question that requires further research!

Hey James,

To answers some of your feedback questions, assuming we are suppose to be consistent with the most recent APA guidelines (don't you love how they change year to year). Yes, you are suppose to indent all paragraphs except for (if included) your abstract. Everything is double spaced in the new APA, including the Reference page. Gotta love it!

Hi James,
Thanks for your kind words.. I'm glad you liked the introduction. (It came to me sometime between the turkey and the creme brulee... I had to email it to myself so I wouldn't forget. So you see.. another one who prefers email, lol).
I know what you mean about the long blog post.. that's why I like the way you did it by directing readers to a separate link. When I figure out how to do that I will do it that way, next time, to avoid all that scrolling. Well thanks for reading all the way to the end! I appreciate it!

Great job on completing your research paper. I read your discussion section and liked your vision of the future for adult learners. How you feel that things will be much different in 10 years as people increase their skills using computers. I agree and think that we are in a time of transition and where soon everyone will have grown up using computers and using technology will be more natural for everyone.

Hi James,

Great job on the paper - your comments in the discussion were thought provoking and informitive. I expanded on the idea about the importance of students feeling comfortable in their educational setting as a vehicle for learning. It is interesting that this was more important than the learning goals themselves.

Thank you for setting the pace and example for all to follow.

After you've got the crust rolled out, transfer it to your pan or pizza stone. It should be spread onto the pizza stone or pan in a layer less than an inch thick, and then the squash crust will need to be baked for at least 20 minutes before putting toppings on it and baking again.
