> > >
 * Julie's Sample with OLD form (but additional language for privacy and permissions for under 18)
 * Master's Student Sample for using ONLINE survey

b. Review IRB.net online system
 * [|IRB.net]


 * If time....manuscript review just received!**


 * 4. Discuss final proposal assignment and use of roadmap to guide your thinking and writing**

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR QUALITATIVE INQUIRY (useful for your proposal and eventual dissertation)

[|Simple overview of common qualitative analytical approaches](including content analysis, narrative analysis, and constant comparative method)
 * Review your syllabus and slides from Dr. Adamy's class to hone in on a specific analytical method, name it, identify key methodologist(s), get a book by that methodologist, and look for several studies that have used this method.
 * MORE ABOUT QUALITATIVE METHODS from the [|homepage of this website]
 * Remember to [|use an audit trai]l to make your methods clear to your reader || ** SURVEY RESEARCH **

**1. READ:** > >
 * ** Reading Guide #9: Big Ideas and Sample Survey Items (remember to rename the filename!) **
 * Read Frankel Ch. 17 (and complete related reading guide #9)
 * Monroe, M. & Adams, D. (2012). [|Increasing response rates to web-based surveys]
 * Vagias, Wade M. (2006). Likert-type scale response anchors
 * Porter & Whitcomb (2005). Non-response in student surveys. [[file:Porter & Whitcomb 2005.pdf]]
 * Porter & Whitcomb (2007). Mixed-mode contacts in web surveys [[file:Porter & Whitcomb 2007.pdf]]

**CREATE IN READING GUIDE #9 TEMPLATE**: Use Fraenkel's suggestions in Chapter 17 and likert scale examples in file below to compose 8 survey items to measure a construct/variable of interest in your proposed study.
 * 4 likert scale items
 * 2 multiple choice items
 * 2 open ended items

(6 Instrumentation, 7 Sampling, 8 Instrument and 9 Instrument Validity & Reliability) and/or Proposal Roadmap (depending on what stage you are in)
 * Catchup on Worksheets in Google Docs**


 * DON'T READ BELOW HERE**


 * WORK ON COMPLETING THE PROPOSAL ROADMAP YOU STARTED IN CLASS** - if you were absent, download the roadmap file from the left column of this table and start to fill in with brief ideas in each section (don't write the whole narrative though - just 1-2 big ideas for each)
 * Select your biggest gaps/"issues" (theoretical frame, defining constructs, lining up research questions and variables with data sources, labeling analytical techniques, etc.) and focus on improving your knowledge and understanding of that issue.
 * You may choose to read other studies, explore links on the wikispace for ideas, but do something to forward your thinking about this roadmap.
 * Bring your new questions/issues next week; we'll try to discuss in class a bit with a partner. ||
