1. There are four different alternative ways of answering our
questions in total:
1. Their gender: Female (1), Male (2), Gender Fluid (no
numeral code because we did not receive any), Prefer Not To
Say (3).
2. Their age: open-ended.
3. One interval scale: 0-1 (1), 2-3 (2), 4-5 (3), 6-7 (4).
4. Second interval scale: Never (1), Very Rarely (2), Rarely (3),
Occasionally (4), Frequently (5), Very Frequently (6).
Since last night, my team and I coded our 31 survey responses.
Now we need to do the hard part, figure out which formulas to
use and which variables. We have 56% Female, 42% Male, and
2% Prefer Not To Say. The majority of our ages are from 20s to
mid 70s. However, now we have an additional 12 (43)
responses. Should we go through and add these new responses
to our codebook?
My team is taking our response and converting them into
numerical values. For those results where the answered 0-1, 2-3,
4-5, 6-7 we put a 1-4 value. Same with those that were never-
very frequently, these went from 1-6. Once all of these have
numerical values we can get the mean, median, and mode of
scores between women and men or even between ages. We have
a good clumping of ages with roughly half being within their
mid to late 20s and the other half 50+. We can group those two
together to see how stress and sleep effects them differently
between alcohol usage, perceived anxiety, and restlessness. Not
entirely certain which statistical test to run though.
Strategic IT Planning: Your 3-Step Process

2. Introduction
Strategic IT Planning is required to ensure your resources and
assets continue providing the results and the support your
organization needs.
What is a Strategic Plan?
It is a roadmap to achieving a goal. It may cover your entire
department or responsibility or it may focus on a specific issue
or element of your role. It can be long and involved or a simply
one-page document that provides guidance and steps you need
to implement to achieve a goal.
Making it Happen
There are a few things that are important to your success. While
it may seem that developing the Strategic Plan is the hardest
part, most plans fail because of the implementation. The key is
to keep it small and be successful, then build on that success for
the next initiative. Don’t bite off too much or try to be too
ambitious.
• Take your time and keep it manageable
• Link your plan to your company’s strategy
• Justify your initiative and get buy-in and support
• Don’t re-invent, rebuild
• Go slow, manage change
• Set aside time from your operational responsibiliti es to
make it happen
Without a Strategic Plan, you and your team won’t be effective
and you won’t be able to get results, get attention and get
ahead.
Why you need an IT Strategy:
Redirect from tasks to opportunities and result
· Switch from fighting fires to preventing fires
· Reduce risk with planning and a longer view
Most Strategic Plans never get written or they fail because they
are too involved and complex. Keep them simple and use these
three basic steps as your core approach. Ask yourself these
questions:

3. 1. Why do you need to do it? What is your goal?
2. What are the things you need to get done to achieve your
goal?
3. How can you make those things happen?
By following the 3 steps above and writing them down, you will
have the outline of your Strategic IT Plan. Then, you establish
the tactical things that will help you implement your plan.
Implementation Plan
Once you have established your strategic plan using the 3-step
process, you need to develop your implementation plan. This
includes getting approval and resources as well as the steps you
need to take to achieve your strategic objective.
1. Set the objective for each step
2. Analyze internal/external factors
3. Develop solutions
4. Identify and eliminate barriers
5. Allocate resources (people, time, money)
6. Develop detailed tasks
7. Implement your plan!

CLASSMATE 1:

Methods
Participants
A total of 50 Facebook users (36 female, 12 male, 1 non-binary,
and 1 preferred not to list their gender) volunteered to take the
12 question survey. (Because I got these numbers from our
results, is it okay to have them in the methods section or should
I skip the participant's section and put it in the results?)
Materials
Activity. A 12 question anonymous survey that asked various
questions about divorce and the military (created on Google
Forms) was posted on 4 different Facebook Group Pages. Link
to survey: https://forms.gle/KUH1aCvx1xorX2hT6 (1. I
honestly don't know what else to write here, are we supposed to

8. write out all of the questions we had in our survey? 2. We had
to close our survey because we liked the amount of responses
we got and didn't want to mess our data up, should I open it
when we turn our papers in since I want to include a link to our
survey in my paper or should I not include a link?)
Statistics. (My group and I are still coding our results and have
not figured out what tests we want to run. The goal is to see if
divorce and deployments correlate or not and so far we have
converted our qualitative results to quantitative by assigning a
number to them. We then can get a couple of means for some of
the questions like the age they got married, the age they got
divorced, the most common deployment length the service
member had, what monthly range of deployment was easiest for
them, their gender. We also had 2 Likert scales that we need to
convert.)
What else are we supposed to include in our method section?
CLASSMATE 2
Our research focuses on the stigmas surrounding emotional
support animals. To figure out if people’s stigmas about
emotional support animals were more negative leaning or
positive leaning our group created a survey to test stigma or in
other words people’s attitudes. Participants were recruited
through email, social media sites, or over the internet in
general. Family members were emailed the survey, classmates
were given the opportunity to fill out the survey (link was
posted on a discussion open to all), and the link was posted on
Reddit and Facebook.
Our survey consisted of 11 questions total. The first two were
demographic questions about gender and age. The next three
asked if they owned a pet, an emotional support animal, and/or
if they know someone who owns an emotional support animal.
The remaining six question were multiple choice. Each

9. “question” involved a statement and the participants had to
decide if they strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly
disagree with the statement. These statements were more
positive leaning and were created to find out if the participant
had a more negative or positive stigma towards emotional
support animals.
The statements and corresponding “Stigma Scale” were created
based on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Price & Jhangiani,
2018, p. 104). The original scale measured self-esteem based on
if the participants answered if they strongly agree, agree,
disagree, or strongly disagree with the statements provided.
Each choice corresponded to a point value. You can read more
about the original scale in chapter 5 of our textbook on page
104. For our revised “Stigma Scale” our statements were mostly
positive leaning so 3 points were given for strongly agree, 2
points for agree, 1 point for disagree, and 0 points for strongly
disagree. Since 6 statements were given the following math
(shown in the table below) was used to create stigma ranges. We
are planning to analyze the data based on the total score for
each individual participant and for each question. Using a chi-
square calculator we plan to measure the association between
stigma scores and multiple different categories including if they
own a pet or not, if they own an emotional support animal or
not, if they know someone who owns an emotional support
animal or not, and gender. In other words, we will analyze the
association of how females vs. males scored, the association
between stigma scores and if they own an emotional support
animal or not, and so on.
