...method 2.3.1 Interview or questionnaire? Questionnaire is one of the basic tools for quantitative analysis. According to Hansen, Cottle, Negrine and Newbold (1998:225-227), Questionnaire can be used to ‘collect data about current attitudes and opinions’ and to identify ‘who takes up these media and why’. The data that collected from a population of respondents can be used to ‘support to, or to negate hypotheses or propositions’, and sometimes only provide common information on ‘existing or changing patterns of behavior ’ (Hansen, Cottle, Negrine and Newbold, 1998:225). With respect to the interview, questionnaire has higher efficiency, and it can greatly save time, money and human operation (Lu, 2009: 21-22). What is more, the anonymous survey can reduce respondent’s psychological pressure, in order to collect more real information (Lu, 2009:21). Besides, this...

...Executive Summary This survey was done to help the student services department to understand workshops and seminars suitable for art students. To achieve this purpose, this survey was done by collecting data from 22 art students in art school. Data collection was by the use of a survey questionnaire containing two questions. The first question sought to rate how students were interested in undertaking different workshops. The last question was open ended seeking to understand other workshops that students would like to attend. To avoid getting blank responses, each participant was asked the questions and the researcher wrote the response on their behalf. The results indicated that 17 students were interested in attending the creativity workshop. However, most participants were not interested in the “wordpress” workshop. For the second question only nine participants identified other workshops in which they wish to attend. A Survey was done in an Art School to find out which Workshops and Seminars would be helpful for Art Students Introduction/Problem Statement Educational institutions recognize the need of students’ involvement in decision making. This attribute is seen as vital because it helps students select what they think would benefit them and help improve on their educational outcomes (Murphy 56). In particular, education institutions have been using seminars and workshops as tools to improve on the development of their students. In designing these workshops, evaluating...

Marketing, more than any other business activity, links companies to their customers. Even if you don’t pursue a career in marketing, it is useful for you to understand how marketing works. Upon successfully completing this course, you should be able to: 1) Speak the language – In your daily life, you have probably encountered many of the phenomena we will discuss in class. However, if you want to pursue a career in business, you need to be fluent in the terminology, frameworks, and models related to marketing and corporate social responsibility (see service learning project). 2) Apply the concepts learned in class – Knowing the terminology, framework, and models is important. It is more important, however, that you are able to combine and apply them across different contexts in order to make justifiable recommendations. 3) Critique current practice – You will develop the ability to evaluate current marketing practice, not only in terms of its effectiveness...

I understand that failure to attribute material which is obtained from another source may be considered as plagiarism. (Signature of student) _______________________________ Summary Schools store and process increasingly more data about students and the subjects which they study. This often includes timetable, homework and attendance data amongst many other potential data sources. In many schools there currently exists no solution for students or their parents to view this data as information from one user friendly interface. The Arnewood School is a secondary school and sixth form college which has realised the need for this kind of information to me made available to students and parents via a secure, user friendly, single sign-on interface. This project aimed to produce a web portal which integrated and displayed information from preexisting and newly designed information systems in a way which was inline with the requirements of The Arnewood School and potential users. Due to the nature of developing such a system without having any knowledge of user requirements, a suitable methodology had to be selected which allowed for vague user requirements that could change at any time.

...instructors grading students, students evaluating their professors’ instruction along with their nonverbal movements. Also discussed are the effects ADHD and ODD can have on teachers who are observing children involved in a scripted act, unknown to the teachers, and how the halo effect might cloud their review of the child being observed and graded on their behavior. Introduction The effects of what is called the “halo effect” and how it relates to grading of student projects and ratings of their disruptive disorders can have dramatic effects on the finding of research project and diagnosis’ of patients. Halo effect is properly defined as: The halo effect is the systematic bias that the rater introduces by carrying over a generalized impression of the subject from one rating to another. An instructor expects the student who does well on the first question of an examination to do well on the second. You conclude a report is good because you like its form, or you believe someone is intelligent because you agree with him or her. Halo is especially difficult to avoid when the property being studied is not clearly defined, is not easily observed, is not frequently discussed, involves reactions with others, or is a trait of high moral importance. (Cooper & Schindler, 2010, p. 298) This literary review discusses the halo effect in the education environment. Twelve articles have been reviewed and discussed on the subjects of 1) teachers rating students, 2) students rating teachers...
