MATH 2020 Final Project Guidelines This project is meant tAbramMartino96
MATH 2020 Final Project Guidelines
This project is meant to help you apply at least one concept from our class to something
you encounter in real life. Projects may be done individually or in groups. These can be
PowerPoints, papers, posters, whatever makes the most sense for you. The general
guideline for length is that the primary project should take you about 7-10 minutes to
present (if we were going to present them) and any additional people in the group should
contribute another 5-7 minutes of content. This can either be done by discussing another
perspective on the same data or the same concept on different data. Ask if you have any
questions.
This project is meant to springboard off of the last few chapters. PROJECTS CONTAINING
ONLY TOPICS COVERED IN CHAPTER 3 OR 4 ARE CONSIDERED INSUFFICIENT AND WILL
RECEIVE 0’s. Ask yourself a question that is not something you can simply count up. For
instance, do not ask how many blue M&Ms are in a bag, nor even that chance of pulling one
out of the bag. These are found by sitting down to count the candies and this proves little
about your statistical know-how. Instead, ask a question like, “Does it seem like more
women are in the nursing program than men? Does that only happen at SLCC?” Now you
have the foundation for hypothesis testing and you can answer a question that is possibly
relevant to other groups.
What Will Be Graded (See attached rubric for more details)
Be sure to state all your sources clearly. Include all data sets used. You will be graded on:
1. Having the required amount of material.
2. State all relevant background material. (i.e. did you create the data yourself or did
you read it somewhere? If you found the data elsewhere, does the person collecting
data have a bias (reason to want you to believe certain things)?)
3. Clearly outline what the population being studied is and all relevant statistics and
parameters.
4. Give details as to how you come to your conclusions. (For example, if you are doing
hypothesis testing, what was your null and alternative, what is your alpha level,
what made you decide all of those things?)
5. Bring everything together for a big picture perspective. This is not simply about
numbers, this is about something bigger. Your conclusion should state things in
layman’s terms (so that someone who has not taken a statistics course could
understand it).
Suggested Topics
Find a study in a magazine or online article that has a lot of information provided
and test their hypotheses yourself.
Ask me for tables of data from other resources so you may conduct your own tests.
Consider making your own data set. You could survey random students at school
with questions that are easy to quantify:
How many hours per week do you study?
How many speeding tickets have you ever gotten?
What do you pay for rent?
Invent your own.
Look up data from your ...

The APA Methods Section
The APA methods section starts right after the last Hypothesis and the word "Methods" is a centered
heading. It does not begin on a new page. The APA methods section contains three subsections:
Subjects, Materials (and/or Apparatus), and Procedures. In addition, the materials subsection includes
references to the Appendix. Instructions for the Appendix is included here also.
Participants
Report the number of subjects you plan to use in your study. The total number may be broken down
into males and females, or in the case of quasi-experiments in the various groups from which the
subjects were selected. For example you may have beginners, novices, and experts and need 20 in each
category. How do you know how many subjects you will need? The past research that is summarized in
your introduction included subject’s information…how many was typical in past research? That’s about
how many you should use too. If you are doing correlation research you will need 30 subjects per
variable at least. If you are doing group research the minimum number is 5 per group, but 10 per group
is better, at the minimum. These are rough guidelines; let the past research guide you.
In addition to the total number of subjects, include how many groups and how many per group (if you
have groups), but do not define the groups or discuss what you will be doing with them – that info goes
in the procedures subsection to be written later. Include the kind of subjects you plan to use. By this I
mean college students or general population, special populations like women aged 35-55 only, etc. If
you plan to have a specific number of females and males, or equal numbers of various ethnic
backgrounds, include this too. If you just plan to have males and females but don’t know how many of
each and it’s not really important anyway, you can leave out the numbers, but do say both males and
females will be included.
In addition to number and kind, include a detailed description of your selection method. Random
selection? Stratified sampling? Use the terms learned in class and tell the reader exactly how you plan
to implement the selection strategy. For example, let's the research you've been reading typically uses
quota sampling to ensure that equal numbers of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are
represented. You decide that 40 of each class will work fine. Now tell the reader how will do quota
sampling at MTSU. How does one go about "getting" freshmen? sophomores? juniors? and seniors?
You could talk to professors and ask to come their classes and recruit volunteers for your study. You
could stand in the Student Center, the lobby of the Library, and other locations where students gather
and simply ask people to volunteer as they walk by. You could wait in the hall outside of classes and talk
to students as they leave class. If you ask enough students, hang out near or in 1000-level cla ...

Theme: Digital Technology in Our Lives
Research Essay 2
Guided Research Writing / Fall 2016
Introduction to Assignment:
We have been exploring the theme of digital technology in our lives, which is related to our earlier
theme of academic integrity and our own experiences in this class. During our written and spoken
discussions, many ideas have arisen, including how much new technology has changed human’s lives
and possibly our brains, opinions and research on multitasking, the benefits and drawbacks of using new
technology, the typical panicked response throughout history when a new kind of technology is created,
and ways to reduce the negative effects of technology in everyday life.
Assignment Requirements:
For this assignment, you will write a 3 to 4 page essay (typed and double-spaced) that answers one of
the following questions:
1. How can new technologies such as the Internet be used most effectively? In other words, how
can we minimize their negative effects and enhance their positive effects?
2. When the written language began to be widely used in Greece in the fourth century B.C.,
Socrates, a philosopher of the time, opposed it, saying that writing was a lot less flexible than
oral language and also that it would have a negative effect on our mind, destroying our ability to
memorize. What are some similar objections to the development of new technology?
3. How have new technologies such as the Internet affected education?
To successfully complete this assignment, you group must support your thesis with a variety of evidence
from at least three of our sources.
• An Assignment that Prevents Plagiarism
(Weimer)
• Digital Nation (Dretzin)
• Does the Internet Make You Dumber (Carr)
• Generation Plagiarism? (Gabriel)

• Harvard to Adopt Student Honesty Pledge
(Coughlan)
• Survey: Many Students Say Cheating’s OK
(Slobogin)
• Top Ten Reasons Students Plagiarize & What
You Can Do about It (Cleary)
Due Dates:
Below is a sketch of the required steps in the writing process. Final paper grades may be reduced 5
points for every late or missing assignment. More detailed instructions for each will be given in “Weekly
Assignments” on D2L or in class.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. For EVERY interaction with a patron:
Make sure you start with the right date/time
stamp. It will automatically apply current
date/time. It’s okay to go back and enter in old
stats as long as you make sure to edit the
date/time.
2. For EVERY interaction with a patron,
you are also required to fill in the boxed options:
We want to make sure we have consistency, so let’s clarify a
few of these options…
3. PATRON TYPE
Pretty straightforward. One note:
You don’t have to actually ask someone what type of patron they
are. If they volunteer information that allows you to discern
this, choose the right category. If not, err on the side of caution
and side “Unknown”
5. Type of Question
Here’s the part where things can get tricky.
Let’s go through these and then try them out.
6. Type of Question
General Library
Questions about library's facilities, spaces, policies, procedures
Print/Copy/
Scan
Any questions about using the printers, copier, or scanner. Includes color printing.
Log-In
Any questions about logging in to the network, either on wifi or via guest access.
Basic Research
Any questions that involve you helping the patron locate, retrieve, or access information.
Basic questions should be fairly straightforward and short. These are the types of
interactions where you give someone a bit of guidance and then they handle the rest on
their own. If you select this category, you must include details (course, subjects, etc) about
the interaction in the Question and Answer fields.
Advanced
Research
Any questions that involve you helping the patron locate, retrieve, or access information.
Advanced questions require more complex, long interactions. They may involve more
guidance through the search process, or searching multiple resources. They also should
include questions that get referred to a librarian for additional support. If you select this
category, you must include details (course, subject, etc) about the interaction in the
Question and Answer fields.
Citation Help
Questions that deal with the ethical and legal use of information resources. Can include
questions about MLA, APA, other citaiton styles, using and citing images, etc.
Technology
Help
Questions that deal with technology (besides the printer/copier/scanner machine). Can
include Office applications, Moodle. etc.
Other
Any other questions that don't easily fit into one of these categories. If you select this
category, you must include details about the interaction in the Question and Answer fields.
