...How To Write a Thesis Statement What is a Thesis Statement? Almost all of us—even if we don’t do it consciously—look early in an essay for a one- or two-sentence condensation of the argument or analysis that is to follow. We refer to that condensation as a thesis statement. Why Should Your Essay Contain a Thesis Statement? to test your ideas by distilling them into a sentence or two to better organize and develop your argument to provide your reader with a “guide” to your argument In general, your thesis statement will accomplish these goals if you think of the thesis as the answer to the question your paper explores. How Can You Write a Good Thesis Statement? Here are some helpful hints to get you started. You can either scroll down or select a link to a specific topic. How to Generate a Thesis Statement if the Topic is Assigned How to Generate a Thesis Statement if the Topic is not Assigned How to Tell a Strong Thesis Statement from a Weak One How to Generate a Thesis Statement if the Topic is Assigned Almost all assignments, no matter how complicated, can be reduced to a single question. Your first step, then, is to distill the assignment into a specific question. For example, if your assignment is, “Write a report to the local school board explaining the potential benefits of using computers in a fourth-grade class,” turn the request into a question like, “What are the potential benefits of using computers in a fourth-grade class?” After you’ve chosen the...

...When doing research it is very important to have a logical framework that will be used to examine the question without this framework the research question is destined to fail. This framework is the methodology that is chosen. The methodology that is chosen will steer the direction that the research will take. There are 3 basic types of methodology that can be used; qualitative, quantitative, and mixed. Qualative research methodology is observing and analyzing behaviors, trends, and patterns by using focus groups, seminars, surveys, interview, and forums (AIU, 2012). That data that is collected is generally nonnumeric and focuses on groups of people or objects (Editorial Board, 2011). Quantitative research uses relationships between variables, both independent and dependent. This type of research can be used in observational and experimental research. The difference between qualitative and quantitative research is that quantitative research focuses on hypothesis testing (2012). Quantitative data is generally a numeric measurement (2011). The mixed methodology is a combination of qualative and quantitative research because of this it is thought to be the most powerful methodology (2012). The data collection tool (direct observation, interviews, survey, questionnaires, and experiments) used depends on the type of data being collected, the amount of data being collected, the quality of the data being collected, the time frame in which the data needs to be collected, and the cost...

Name: Karlijn Dirks Student number: 10674837 Tutorial Group: 2 fulltime Lecturer: drs. Francesco Campisi RA Date: 10 February 2016 Paper: 8 * Summary The papers that will be discussed in this essay all revolve around auditor reporting. Especially about issuing going-concern modified reports in relationship with different variables. The variable discussed in the first paper is audit firm size. For the second paper auditor tenure is the variable and for the final paper audit committee composition is the variable that will be looked at. The rest of this section will provide summaries of the three articles. Paper 1. Geiger & Rama (2006) investigate whether audit firm size affects the accuracy of going-concern reporting. They look at two different type of errors, type I errors occur when a going-concern modified report is issued but the client does not go bankrupt. A type II error occurs when a client does go bankrupt but prior audit reports are without going-concern modifications. The authors identify three different audit firm sizes: big 4, national (second-tier) and regional (third-tier). In this study...

...Stages of the Research Process ES/351 July 21, 2015 Stages of the Research Process The first stage in the research process is critical in capturing information data and evidence that will solidify a business research. The two articles chosen for this paper from the University library are bullying and no child left behind act in regards to American schools. The paper will state the purpose of the research and determine the research questions and hypotheses for each article. Hypothesis occurs when a proposition is formulated for empirical testing, and a research question is the hypothesis that best states the objective of the research (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). “A declarative statement about the relationship between two or more variables, a hypothesis is of a tentative and conjectural nature” (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, pg58). In addition, the paper will identify the independent and dependent variables being manipulated or measured for each article. “The general research process contains three major stages, exploration of the situation, the collection of data, and analysis and interpretation of results” (Cooper & Schindler, 2014, pg139). The critical first stage is to clarify the research question. A better way to approach the research process is to state the basic dilemma, which will prompt the research to develop other questions by progressively breaking down the original question into more specific ones (Cooper &...

...UNDERSTANDING ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN ACCOUNTING: A GUIDE FOR STUDENTS Teresa P. Gordon College of Business and Economics University of Idaho Moscow, Idaho USA Jason C. Porter College of Business and Economics University of Idaho Moscow, Idaho USA ABSTRACT The ability to read and understand academic research can be an important tool for practitioners in an increasingly complex accounting and business environment. This guide was developed to introduce students to the world of academic research. It is not intended for PhD students or others who wish to perform academic research. Instead, the guide should make published academic research more accessible and less intimidating so that future practitioners will be able to read empirical research and profitably apply the relevant findings. The guide begins by examining the importance of academic research for practitioners in accounting and next reviews the basics of the research process. With that background in place, we then give some guidelines and helpful hints for reading and evaluating academic papers. This guide has been used for several years to introduce master’s degree students to academic literature in an accounting theory class. After reading this guide and seeing a demonstration presentation by the professor, students have been able to successfully read and discuss research findings. Key words: Understanding empirical research, supplemental readings, importance of academic research, incorporating academic research in classroom...

...Journal Article Critique Paper BSHS 435 January 15 2016 Literature Review In this article critique paper as a team we are researching what the effects are that a behavioral specialist has on the behavioral control for the mentally disabled. While not all clients have improvement, with evaluation in methodology in mental illness, the causes of the positive or negative program outcomes become the primary focus of study. Behavioral specialist teach their clients the skills that they need to improve on their personal social skills. Unlike other research methodologies, evaluation research is usually initiated by someone's need for a decision to be made about policy, program management, or strategic planning. It is important to understand the effects that a behavioral specialist has on the mentally disabled. With evaluation in methodology in mental illness, the causes of the positive or negative program outcomes become the primary focus of study. Using program goals and actual individual and group performance measures in meeting these objectives, evaluation researchers attempt to locate factors related to the actual program outcomes. Traditionally, an evaluator will work directly with program leadership, staff, and consumers to determine the most salient factors that define program performance concerning the goals of a program. In ideal evaluation study situations, mental health service program staff, directors, funding sources, and all other groups that have a stake...

...Methods Paper PSY/335 Professor Corey Vigdor June 15, 2015 Methods Paper The average American is addicted to something, drinking, smoking, drug abuse, sex, porn, etc. Our proposal is the effect of underage drinking. To start it off people drink to socialize, celebrate and even relax. Alcohol is a big consumer in the United States and it has a different effect on different people varying throughout history. In high school, the vast majority of the teenagers are always looking to try new things. Among the new things has come alcohol, after all they always want to do something that they can’t or aren’t supposed to do. Taking a deeper look into the effect alcohol has on underage teenagers in high school, it has changed their academic achievement, as well as an increased teen dropout rate. Sampling is an important component to any piece of research because it has a significant impact on the quality of the results. The type of sampling being used is population; this is different in research then compared to how we consider the population under normal circumstances. In sampling, population signifies the units that are being studied. The units can be people, cases, and pieces of data, so for our proposal the unit being studied is the underage teenagers who drink while in high school. During this proposal the uses of descriptive statistics have been used. Descriptive statistics is the term given to the analysis of the data that ultimately helps explain, or summarize the...
