         For this assignment, I observed and recorded the social interactions of guests at a theme park during Halloween taking note of the setting/context as it unfolded.             The goal was to understand how people interact or behave in a particular event.  Interpreting and analyzing the meanings of the interactions and observations. 

​

         This project was designed to give experience in designing the methodology and assessments involved in creating a qualitative research study.  It incorporated the             problem statement, need, research questions and methodology.

​

         This project was the proposal for the fourth project.

​

         In this research project I created qualitative study which incorporated open-ended surveys using Qualtrics and the IRB application.

EDTC 810: Statistics for Educational Research - Dr. Glazer

​

         For this assignment, I researched examples of statistical inference in the media on education and analyzed articles for the strengths and weaknesses of the                       statistical analysis.  

​

         Together with Fahima Bacha, James Murduca and Jennifer Vanyi, we designed a statistical reference site to aid ourselves and others about the different types of               statistical analysis which can be conducted in educational research.

​

         This assignment required me to critique a group of my peers on their Statistics website to evaluate my understanding of the statistics that were being used and               test my ability to evaluate doctoral level work.

​

  • Analysis Paper
    For this assignment, I collected and analyzed a data set using a variety of data analysis tools.  The set included both categorical and quantitative variables and a sample size over 25 participants.  I was able to analyze relationships between different variables and use SPSS or visual representation and to determine statistical significance.
