Online survey
This document discusses online surveys, including when to conduct them, best practices for development, advantages, and disadvantages. Some key points covered include that online surveys can be used at different stages of development to understand users and gather feedback. They should be brief, clearly indicate progress, and include a mix of open and closed-ended questions. While price and accessibility are advantages, biases can occur if distribution channels are not carefully chosen and engagement tends to drop off after 10 minutes.

Chapter 5: Survey Research: Questionnaires
Chapter 6: Survey Research: Interviews and Telephone Surveys
Unit Lesson
As we learned in previous units, there are multiple ways to collect the data. One of the most popular methods
of collecting data is survey research. This widely used technique allows the researcher to collect a variety of
information from study participants, regardless of whether the identity of the participants is known.
Questionnaires, interviews, and telephone surveys are three primary forms of survey research.
Questionnaires
There are many ways to develop a questionnaire. However, there are some rules and guidelines that exist to
help a researcher develop questionnaires that will properly collect the data that he or she needs to address
the research questions. Most of the guidelines focus on the wording and construction of questionnaires. When
developing a questionnaire, one should be aware of the question types. Wording configurations that should
be avoided include biased or leading questions, double-barreled questions, questions asked objectively,
assumptions regarding the respondent’s knowledge regarding issues, vague wording, collecting excessive
information, and “response set” (Hagan, 2014).
The organization of the questionnaire is also important. Questionnaires should normally begin with questions
that focus on the study topic and how they sit with demographic type questions such as age, race/ethnicity,
income, and occupation. For example, if you were interested in looking at the relationship in the number of
children involved in community policing activities, then make sure the survey begins with questions that ask
specifically about their level of involvement in the community and/or the extent of their interaction with police
in the community. Then, end a survey by asking them questions about their family such as how many people
are in their household, how many of those people are children, and what are the ages of the children in the
household?
The manner in which the questionnaire is administered is also important. Questionnaires can be given directly
to the participant, mailed to the participant, and electronically provided to the participant (e.g., link or QSR
code). Mail surveys are a very popular method of.
Online survey
An online survey allows respondents to complete a questionnaire over the Internet. It is created as a web form that stores answers in a database and provides analytics. There are several modes for administering surveys, including online, mobile, telephone, mail, and face-to-face. Each mode has advantages and disadvantages related to costs, coverage of populations, response flexibility and accuracy. Key methodological issues for online surveys include sampling bias, low response rates, and ensuring data quality through design and post-survey adjustments.

MARKETING RESEARCH
Market research is a systematic way to gather, evaluate and present it in a form that explains various facts and figures to the business. Collected information acts as a vital tool to have increments in business activities, qualitative work done and improved profits. Any company, whether small scale or large scale, can perform market research before marketing its products or services. It can also be useful when launching a new product or diversifying the business. It is useful as well when a company has to expand its business globally. It avails numerous benefits to the businesses.
Among the different methods of data gathering for research purposes, many researchers due to its various advantages, strengths and benefits prefer the survey method. However, surveys also have their disadvantages and weak points that must be considered.
Advantages of Marketing Surveys
Market research is a scheduled method to collect, analyze and correlate beneficial data for the benefit of business to make strategic decisions. Collected information acts as a vital tool to have increments in business activities, qualitative work done and improved profits. Any company, whether small scale or large scale, can perform market research before selling its products or services. It can also be useful when launching a new product or diversifying the business.

Among the different methods of data gathering for research purposes, many researchers due to its various advantages, strengths and benefits prefer the survey method. However, surveys also have their disadvantages and weak points that must be considered.
Online surveys and mobile surveys tend to be the most cost-effective modes of survey research, yet they may not reach those respondents that can only respond using alternate modes. Results of online surveys and mobile surveys may suffer and differ greatly if important respondents are left out of the research. Hard-to-reach respondents may be easier to reach using more traditional methods such as paper surveys or face-to-face interviews. The self-completed postal or mail survey is a recognized form of data collection in marketing research (Dillman 1978). There are well- documented practical problems with this form of data collection: poor response rates, slow response, and manual transcription of data from a hard copy questionnaire to an appropriate statistical analysis tool. Non- response and data entry errors may result. Consequently, research into online data collection methods increased significantly during the late 1990s. This was preceded by (1) a growing number of Internet and email users, which started ...
Marketing Research
Online surveys have several advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages include flexibility of format allowing surveys to be completed on computers or mobile devices, smaller time commitment than other data collection methods, and low costs that do not greatly increase with more respondents.
Disadvantages include potential for biased data if distribution channels are not well-chosen, low response rates if surveys are too long, annoyance from repeated requests, inability to verify respondent identity, difficulty reaching some groups, and lack of random sampling lowering statistical confidence.
While online surveys are useful, their effectiveness depends on factors like the research purpose, respondent motivation, transparency in how data will be used, response rates based on design, proper timing, and follow-up actions on results
Data Collection Tool Used For Information About Individuals
The document discusses surveys as a data collection tool used to gather information about individuals. Surveys can be conducted in various ways such as printed questionnaires, telephone interviews, mail, in-person interviews, online, etc. However, standardized procedures are used to ensure every participant is asked the same questions in the same way to make the results reliable and generalizable. The document then discusses some questions and concerns about survey length, question types, and methodology.

Social media has a significant influence on consumer decision making processes among IBEP students. A study was conducted among 25 IBEP students to understand the impact of social media. The results showed that the informative aspect of social media, such as product reviews and recommendations, has a statistically significant positive effect on consumer decisions. However, the alternative aspects provided by social media, such as comparing multiple options, do not have a statistically significant effect. The study concludes that social media influences consumer decisions among IBEP students primarily through the sharing of informative reviews and recommendations among peers.
Financial application
1. Amod and Karthik conducted market research including interviews and a focus group to evaluate the need for a new fintech app that helps users plan their finances for major life events.
2. They found that while current apps help track spending, they are static and don't forecast financial impacts of life changes. However, their focus group indicated users are focused on short-term spending and may not need help planning for distant events.
3. The market research revealed opportunities but also challenges, as the saturated fintech app market and privacy concerns may make it difficult for a new app to succeed. Further refinement of the product idea is needed based on their findings.

Completion of these steps and the final product will account for
Driving Question
After exploring and investigating an important issue or problem in society related to your professional interests, consider the following question:
How can I create a final project that will best synthesize the research to help myself and others better understand the underlying elements and factors causing and relating to my chosen issue or problem?
Examples of Professional Issues:
School of Business
1. Career Interest Area of Business Management: After the interview analysis, an issue that stands out is management’s ineffectiveness in the workplace due to the lack of proper training and development. Because of this lack of proper training and development, managers are not equipped with the skills and abilities needed to motivate and engage a diverse population of employees. This situation is leading to poor performance outcomes in many organizations. For the final product, a business student could create a video of several workplace scenarios that would reveal that issues/problems caused by this lack of training.
Criminal Justice and Social Sciences
1. Career Interest Area of Law Enforcement: One issue is women have long been underrepresented in the criminal justice workforce. This underrepresentation is despite the fact that research has repeatedly shown the benefits of women in policing, including the likelihood of not using excessive force, the ability to diffuse volatile situations, and their inherent skill at addressing violence against women. Underrepresentation of women in the law enforcement profession has been an ongoing problem for as long as women have sought it as a career. For the final product, a CJSS student could collect images of police officers in the surrounding cities/towns (or his or her own city/town) and compile a collage revealing the gender disparity with accompanying statistical support in the form of referenced data and sources.

Running head 2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS FUNDING THE RAILROADS 1 .docx
The document discusses two alternatives for funding the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 19th century: 1) having the government abstain from funding and relying solely on private investment, or 2) having the government fund only one or two railroad lines to bid on and build based on public demand. While private funding alone would have built the railroad eventually, it would have taken much longer. Alternative 2 is presented as superior because it would satisfy public need for the railroad more quickly while also reducing the risk of companies misusing public funds.

Title of Paper
Your first paragraph (or two) should be an introduction to the broad topic of your paper.
Many people write the introduction after writing the rest of the paper! Information in your
introduction should provide a foundation for the hypotheses of your experiment. In your
introduction, your goal is to convince readers that your research topic is (a) interesting and (b)
important. You may choose to begin your paper with a story, quotation, or relevant statistics
about your topic. You can think of your paper as a story about your dependent variable.
You generally will present broad background information about the topic in the first
paragraph of so. You will include at least two sections in the body of your paper. You will
summarize relevant information from prior research studies in the first section, which we refer to
as the “literature review” portion of a paper. You will present your detailed research proposal in
the second section (details are provided below). Some overall formatting rules to keep in mind
are: (a) use Times New Roman font, size 12; and (b) double-space the entire paper.

research and theory that relates to your experiment. The information you present should be from
diverse sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, web sites). Make sure it is clear to the
reader how information is related to your experimental hypotheses or procedure. So, if you are
using their method, then talk about their method; if they found similar results, talk about their
results; if they operationally defined their DV like you want to, then talk about that, etc. To make
this section of your paper effective, you should explicitly relate information from various sources

How to design questionnaire
The document provides guidance on designing effective questionnaires. It emphasizes that questionnaires must have well-defined objectives in order to ask relevant questions and draw meaningful conclusions from the responses. Questions should follow logically from clear objectives. It also stresses that both open-ended and closed-format questions each have advantages, and the type of questions used should depend on the specific information needed. Demographic questions can help analyze response patterns among different groups. Overall, carefully considering objectives, question types, and question wording is essential for creating a questionnaire that efficiently gathers high-quality data.

This document summarizes some useful tips for performing sentiment analysis. It discusses several factors to consider, including:
1) Using both lexicon-based and learning-based techniques, with lexicon-based providing higher precision but lower recall.
2) Considering statistical and syntactic techniques, with statistical techniques being more adaptable to other languages.
3) Training classifiers to detect neutral sentiments in addition to positive and negative, to avoid overfitting.
4) Selecting optimal tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, stemming/lemmatization, and feature selection algorithms for the given topic, language and domain. Feature selection methods like information gain can improve classification accuracy.Data collection method

Social media has a significant influence on consumer decision making processes among IBEP students. A study was conducted among 25 IBEP students to understand the impact of social media. The results showed that the informative aspect of social media, such as product reviews and recommendations, has a statistically significant positive effect on consumer decisions. However, the alternative aspects provided by social media, such as comparing multiple options, do not have a statistically significant effect. The study concludes that social media influences consumer decisions among IBEP students primarily through the sharing of informative reviews and recommendations among peers.

After exploring and investigating an important issue or problem in society related to your professional interests, consider the following question:
How can I create a final project that will best synthesize the research to help myself and others better understand the underlying elements and factors causing and relating to my chosen issue or problem?
Examples of Professional Issues:
School of Business
1. Career Interest Area of Business Management: After the interview analysis, an issue that stands out is management’s ineffectiveness in the workplace due to the lack of proper training and development. Because of this lack of proper training and development, managers are not equipped with the skills and abilities needed to motivate and engage a diverse population of employees. This situation is leading to poor performance outcomes in many organizations. For the final product, a business student could create a video of several workplace scenarios that would reveal that issues/problems caused by this lack of training.
Criminal Justice and Social Sciences
1. Career Interest Area of Law Enforcement: One issue is women have long been underrepresented in the criminal justice workforce. This underrepresentation is despite the fact that research has repeatedly shown the benefits of women in policing, including the likelihood of not using excessive force, the ability to diffuse volatile situations, and their inherent skill at addressing violence against women. Underrepresentation of women in the law enforcement profession has been an ongoing problem for as long as women have sought it as a career. For the final product, a CJSS student could collect images of police officers in the surrounding cities/towns (or his or her own city/town) and compile a collage revealing the gender disparity with accompanying statistical support in the form of referenced data and sources.

The document discusses two alternatives for funding the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 19th century: 1) having the government abstain from funding and relying solely on private investment, or 2) having the government fund only one or two railroad lines to bid on and build based on public demand. While private funding alone would have built the railroad eventually, it would have taken much longer. Alternative 2 is presented as superior because it would satisfy public need for the railroad more quickly while also reducing the risk of companies misusing public funds.

Running Head: YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 2
Introduction
Biblical point of view relies on the scriptures of God. The bible is a Christian holy book that gives the moral compass for what Christians engage in, whether in action or utterances. Through modern technologies and other methods, the secularized view of the criminal justice system in America has been influenced by the biblical concept.
Gaps and Omissions
Comprehending juvenile criminal justice, according to the biblical worldview, is to understand the leading cause of crime and human iniquities. Sin is a component of a biblical worldview. All crimes are treated as a sin, but not all sins are viewed as crimes. The juvenile criminal justice system would not exist if there were no crimes (Laurence, 2012). According to sinful human nature, crime always exists; hence the juvenile criminal justice system should be established to help in curbing crime.
The literature is mainly focused on the need to have a separate criminal justice system for juveniles but does not justify the punishment that juveniles ought to receive for crimes they commit. The literature gives detailed views on the topic, but it fails to conclusively articulate what should be done to reprimand crimes committed by youth. The bible is the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16:19 “do not pervert justice or show partiality ...” God is expecting impartiality those who serve distributive justice regardless of age, social status, or gender.
The biblical aim of justice is restoration, as illustrated in the stories such as Jacob and Esau. Human beings are equal in the eyes of the lord, meaning that justice has to be severed equally, although the literature focuses on separate justice for juveniles and adults. God created all human beings with equal value, but the literature seems to favor and try to treat juveniles who have committed similar crimes with adults differently. The literature does not mention that committing crimes against other people is committing a crime against God’s greatest creation.
Biblical Integration
Today youth are facing various risks of being involved in many forms of crimes that end up exposing them to the criminal justice system. Therefore, Christian adults are called upon to guide and bring significant transformation in the lives of the youth. Christians are called upon by God to exhibit unconditional love for juveniles. The church should advocate for fairness and justice for the young. Although some youth have a criminal record, the juvenile justice system's main goal should be to rehabilitate them. These youth can learn and grow from their mistakes. For Christians to create a just society, they should always restore a convicted offender back to society so that they can be integrat.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT 2
Jane Q. Student
(Submission Date)

Seminar in Security Management (2XXX)
Vulnerability Assessment: Era Church, City, State
Site Selection and Rationale
This vulnerability assessment was conducted at Era Church (“Era”), 429 State Street, City, State 90909, on the dates of September 25 - 28, 2017, and was followed up with subsequent interviews of relevant church personnel. The site was chosen for multiple reasons including the potential for a violent incident such as a mass shooting, and the potential for fraud or other financial crime. A vulnerability is defined as “weakness[ ] or gap[ ] in a security program that can be exploited by threats to gain unauthorized access to an asset” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). Threats are events or persons, such as a natural disaster, fire, criminal act, or terrorist incident, that can exploit a vulnerability (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). A vulnerability assessment “evaluates all opportunities that may be exploited by a threat” and through a detailed process identifies areas where vulnerabilities can be mitigated to lower the risk (DiMarino, 2017). Risk is defined as “the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). The vulnerability assessment at Era Church covers multiple areas to include physical, operational, technological, and financial vulnerabilities. While Era has taken measures to mitigate vulnerabilities, there are some recommendations in each area that could further mitigate risk.
Religion is a contentious and polarizing topic in the United States, which makes churches prime targets for groups or individuals who want to make a statement. Perhaps the most infamous church shooting in recent memory is when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-American church members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 (Blinder & Sack, 2017). Roof brought a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun into the church in a waist pouch, and attended the Bible study for approximately 40 minutes before he shot and killed the members using seven magazines and over 70 rounds (Blinder & Sack, 2017). This incident is just one of many violent incidents at places of worship. There is no sure-fire way to completely avoid incidents such as this shooting, but there are steps that can be taken to help minimize or avoid a large-scale incident.
In addition to the threat of violence, churches are also prime targets for fraud, both from internal and external threats. For instance, the Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that in 2014 churches lost an estimated $39 billion to internal financial fraud (Thomason, 2016). Theft and embezzlement of church funds are two significant risks faced by faith-based institutions. (Thomason, 2016). In addition to an ins.

Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

The author is well conversant with the tree planting initiatives. The data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The article is up to date on the issues of tree planting. The purpose of this article is to keep the reader well informed on the tree planting initiatives. This information will be useful in my speech because it outlines an example of an initiative of tree planting.

Virtual organizations refer to organizations whose employees are geographically spread and connect through phone, internet or email (Hebert, 2017). The concept of a virtual organization utilizes technology from a management perspective in which employees engage in different tasks to achieve the organization’s objectives. There are various benefits associated with virtual organizations. First, the owner of the business incurs lower overhead costs because a virtual organization needs no office space, furniture or paying for utilities (Shamsuzzoha & Helo, 2017). For example, an online education business only needs tutors and students. Secondly, employees are more satisfied due to the comfort of working from their own houses, for instance, tutors in a virtual institution can lecture students at the comfort of their homes. Lastly, the owner of the business can expand the business without having to worry about moving the many employees to a larger office.
However, a virtual organization is prone to many risks that hinder its effectiveness in terms of achieving its objectives. One of the risks is lack of cohesiveness in the organization. This is brought by the fact that the employees are spread and thus difficult to call for an emergency meeting in case an urgent need arises (Wohlers & Hertel, 2017). Secondly, there is a risk to reputation for customers may not perceive a virtual organization as a real company. Lastly, lack of social interaction discourages teamwork. Despite all these, there are various opportunities associated with virtual organizations such as the opportunity to reach the vast majority of the customers as well as an opportunity to change the strategy used by the business easily and for less cost.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

BUS 325: Global Human Resource Management

Onboarding process is a usual process in the recent past in many business organizations. Onboarding seeks to ensure that new employees are easily embedded into the systems as fast as possible. New employees can adjust much more comfortable when they have better employees to ease them in. It helps new employee recruits to adjust to the social and performances. It is mainly aimed at maximizing success. Various vital steps need to be followed in ensuring that new recruits are effectively realigned into the organizational structure.
This is an essential procedure in organizational performances it ensures that new recruits take the shortest time possible to settle and establish better relations with other employees. It is the best way that a business organization can ensure that new recruits concentrate on the primary purpose of the organization rather than focus on how they can settle in their new working environment and social environment.
The onboarding process is an exceptionally chronological process where a beginner follows a given order of events in the organization. The first step is to study the new employee characteristics. It involves understanding their character and their ability to be integrated into the company operations smoothly. This process is very significant because the company can know quite earlier the behavioral adjustment that a given new employee can make to become successful.
The next step in the process is the deployment of newcomer tactics. Within this stage, the new employee develops a relationship with the existing employees within the organization to have a conducive business environment. The next step in the onboarding process is the readjustment of new employee tactics and behavior to conform to organizational culture and be in a position to work effectively towards the achievement of the set organizational goals.
One of the most critical elements of onboarding in a global environment is studying and understanding the characteristics of the new hire to be in a position to know how easy the new recruit will be able to adjust to the organizational culture and its operations. Another vital element in onboarding is the creation of an understanding between new recruits and the already existing employees within the organization to formulate a formidable team that can propel the organization to new heights.

Abstract
This paper will discuss psychology and Christianity: Two disciplines that seem to be difficult subjects when discussing an integrated approach. There are some people who believe that, psychology has become one completely different subject than Christianity and both at times have lost all connection with the other. In addition, there are integrative models of disciplinary that think psychology is strictly a science and Christianity is solely based on faith and religion and the two cannot be integrated together. After further review of evidence, it seems that the integration approach for both disciplines are given by God and that they both should be integrated to create a more understanding of humanity. The focus of this paper is to describe the Allies” model and how it relates to integrating two disciplines; psychology and Christian faith. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the Allies model will be discussed. Also included are definitions of both subjects and views on different approaches towards this matter. Scriptures will be added that correspond with this approach, as well as, several factors that lead to the integration process of both disciplines. After further studies of the evidence of various disciplines, it seems like the “Allies” model best fits the relationship between psychology method and Christianity.
Integration between Christian faith and Psychology
Webster dictionary states that psychology is, “The science of mind and behavior and the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Whereas, Christianity is defined, “A religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). After the evidence from various disciplines of study, it seems that a person’s foundation is based on what we see and how we know. This leads a person to believe that it is crucial for Christian counseling to use both psychology and Christianity. There are several different methods that psychological theory and science use to gain knowledge. These are: “Logic,” “Empiricism,” “Revelation,” and “Hermeneutic” (Entwistle, 2015. P. 97). Whereas, experiments in psychology use deductive logic when testing a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning uses experiments that show a correlation by manipulating the variables. For instance, we use science to find out if a statement is true or false. An idea is a suggestion upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn. For.

LETTER OF ADVICE 2
Dear Cassy and Jeremy,
Congratulations on your recent engagement. It’s such a great time in your life. My wife
and I have been married almost 8 years. I also just took a class on interpersonal communications
and would love to share with you some of what I learned in addition to some personal
experiences.2 Knowing how your partner communicates and uses verbal and non-verbal
communication is important in a relationship and will help in reducing miscommunications.
Know going in to your marriage that there will be conflict but learning how to manage or resolve
those conflicts will help in a successful marriage. I know you both love each other very much
and that will help get you through those difficult times.3
Interpersonal Relationships4
Interpersonal relationships are part of our everyday life. Getting married forms one of
the most important interpersonal relationships you will ever have. But with any relationship there
are barriers to effectively maintain those interactions. Our self-concept is developed through our
interpersonal relationships and changes over time. Emotional intelligence also has a great impact
on how effective a relationship will be. The amount an individual discloses of themselves in a
relationship can vary depending on the type of relationship and can have both negative and
positive effects. Interpersonal conflict is probably one of the most challenging aspects of a
relationship and managing these conflicts effectively is important to the relationship’s wellbeing.
2 While we usually discourage people from using the first person, this essay asks that the student write a personal
letter, so it is okay to be more casual here

Executive Summary
As with any new technology, risks can arise in e-commerce that is not common to those traditional “brick-and-mortar” stores. A huge concern for e-commerce applications is credit/debit card use. Major damage can be done to an organization if the credit/debit card transactions are not secured in terms of financial fraud, loss of consumer confidence, identity theft, or legal regulations.
Online Goodies provides custom promotional gifts to corporate customers and is an Internet-based company. Some of their products include mugs, computer accessories, t-shirts, and office décor. The majority of its income comes from online credit card purchase. They give their repeat customers a discount based on their annual purchase amount.
This report is to create a test plan for Online Goodies based on the OWASP standards. The report includes an overview and rationale of all of the tests performed including a brute force test, an authentication test, privilege escalation test, code injection test, and web application fingerprint test.

Types of Tests Performed
The least expensive way to reduce costs and risks and improve software quality is to catch deficiencies as early as possible. To understand the guidelines for testing the OWASP Testing Guide was used. The tests used in this plan are: Usability Testing, Unit Testing, Interface Testing, Integration Testing, Functionality Testing, Performance Testing, Security Testing, Authentication and Authorization Testing, Privilege Escalation Testing, and Web Application Fingerprint Testing.
Test Plan for Online Goodies Site
The purpose of his test plan is to ensure the Goodies site meets all of its business, functional, and technical requirements. The test plan describes the schedule of test activities, test plan strategy, activities, resources, and scope. This document will identify the features on the site to be tested, the testing tasks, the user assigned to each task, each testing environment, techniques, explanation of options, and risks.
Before actually testing the site, you have to create test cases. This is the sample data which will be used to go through the system. These can be created as soon as the requirements are received. Additional test cases should be created to test other aspects of the system due to its complexity.
Explanation of Testing
Usability testing is one of the most important aspects of building a website. Users are not going to take the time to try to use a website that is poorly designed. We are used.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Running head BeathardAPSY7106-8 1BeathardAPSY71.docx
- 1. Running head: BeathardAPSY7106-8 1 BeathardAPSY7106-8 2 Week 8 Assignment Quantitative analysis as research methodology takes into account variables that are measurable and thus definitive in the way there is an empirical investigation. Therefore, there is a statistical element and definition of techniques in place in the valuation of impact. There are ways in which information in this type of study can be achieved. The data collection is important as it dictates the type of statistical tools that are best suited for this kind of study (Nardi, 2018). For this paper, the survey tool that would be used in the collection of data is a questionnaire. Comment by JB: nice intro as usual :) The Topic By consideration of this, looking at something that is taken to be a general public issue and an impact on the majority. Technology has been a key aspect in the development of means of communication, however, there is also the fact that communication evolution has also led to the increase in the socio-economic value of means of communication. Therefore, having a smartphone comes at its costs depending on an
- 2. individual’s priority. This raises the question of how often do you buy smartphone apps that cost more than $0.99? Comment by JB: rework all prounons to what you mean exactly Comment by JB: interesting! most sentences will be cited though for the final paper. Variable that could be Researched Quantitatively Raises the question give a sense of achievability in terms of the quantitative value and thus a way in which there can be accountability in terms of numbers. Facts and evidence during collection have to be central in defining a specific variable. By determination of this variable, it is easier to understand the types of question to be asked in the survey and where the focus should be emphasized. Therefore, for this question, the variable is the number of mobile apps bought. The instrument to measure this variable includes questionnaires, checklists, interview, and observation (Vellone, 2000). Comment by JB: maybe a word missing here? Comment by JB: add in some citations of researchers calling for this research - it will be important to justify your doing such a study :) I like it though!! Population/Demographic The most elemental question is based on a commodity that can only be found in one type of technology, the chosen demographic is smartphone users. They fit all the criteria necessary as they are the ones in need of a mobile application for most functions. Despite the fact that there is a chosen population, it is important to narrow down the fact that priority is important for different people. Therefore, there is diverse usage of the phones and thus a further narrowing must be considered in the fact that some smartphone users do not necessarily use it for any other options rather than to call and receive messages. While looking at the characteristics of these users the most notable will be those who can be a focus on different mobile application and social media. This allows the identification of the methodologies to reach them and thus definitive pathways to take in the collection of data. The approach to be taken in this
- 3. case in collaboration with different application owners and developers to reach out to their audience for a survey. At the same time, there can also be consideration of recruitment of participants. By this account, the approach would slightly different in that there would be a need to identify the target population by other characteristics such as the likelihood of smartphone ownership, mixed population, and age groups through an exclusion inclusion criteria which allows a form of grouping (Hagan, 2014). Research Questionnaire Created and Answered (Answers are bold and underlined) Section I: Personal Information 1. Gender/Sex Running head: SURVEY TOOLS 1 SURVEY TOOLS 8 2. · Female · Male · Other 3. Marital Status Comment by JB: when asking participants questions we don't want to ask anything that is potentially sensitive if we aren't going to analyze that data. You can ask non personal things (I think marital status/gender/age is okay) for your demographic section - to describe the sample, but nothing too personal if you aren't going to analyze it. From the RQ above it looks like you are just analyzing data about the number of mobil apps bought (no relationships between these things and that). 4. · Married · Single

- 7. 29. What type of phone apps do you purchase more frequently? · · Games · Photo editing Comment by JB: Fortunately you will not be making an instrument for your NCU dissertation. NCU prefers students using a quantitative method with a questionnaire for data collection - use an already published and validated instrument. It is too hard/time consuming to run a pilot test before the dissertation (which is needed when developing an instrument). If you are going with this topic you might look for questionnaires that exist in this area - I bet there are some! · Video editing · Social Media enhancements Description of Experience The questions were straight forward, easy to read and understand. The simplicity of the research question made it easy to grasp what it is that is required to answer. The questions were noninvasive hence make it comfortable to truthfully answer them. In addition, it was a quick survey which makes it more time friendly as it could be completed in about five to eight minutes. Better Data Collection Strategy Both in person and online data collection serve their purpose and offer a variety of limitation and advantages. In person data collection provides a chance for the determination of physical and verbal cues hence inclusive of observation, there is focus giving control to the researcher and offers a more in-depth quality that may be used for inferences. However, they are also limited as there is a restriction in the participants that one can use, it becomes more costly, there is often manual data entry, and the individuals are inconvenienced (Wright, 2005). On the other hand, online data collection give a bigger pool of
- 8. participants, there is no limitation of the demographic, convenience is on the user, its low cost, the design is flexible depending on the site it is posted, and there can also be real- time data collection for a big sample population. Comment by JB: focus on only one method of data collection and one instrument. decide which one for the signature assignment and get into the details of how it would go - according to the assignment instructions However, the method is dependent on the availability of user hence cannot work well with strict deadlines; the reliability of data can be tricky due to the fact that there is on the interviewer. Despite all that, in person survey is better due to extent of representation which will give an insight into more informed facts which are acceptable by the majority and can be related to their experience (Szolnoki, & Hoffmann, 2013). Comment by JB: good info! Some information is missing - so be sure to read the assignment instructions very carefully for the signature assignment. You will add that in for that assignment. First, search the Internet for free online survey tools such as those found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/survey- templates and review the survey template examples (go to Academic Surveys). Review the examples and compare two on factors such as options, usability and determine the cost through a service such as SurveyMonkey. Second, determine a topic area that could be researched using a quantitative measurement. Third, determine a variable that could be measured using a quantitative design. Fourth, prepare a short four-item instrument that measures a variable related to your selected topic area. Fifth, identify your population of interest if you were to use these tools to measure the selected variable. Explain how you
- 9. might most effectively reach participants to recruit to complete your online instrument. Describe whether your approach would differ if you were recruiting participants to complete the same instrument in person. Sixth, pretend that you are a participant. Complete the instruments you have created. Describe your experience as a participant with regard to factors, such as ease of readability, and time to complete. Finally, as an independent scholar, you will have to decide which data-collection strategy is most appropriate, given the problem statement, purpose, and research questions of the study. Discuss the advantages and limitations of collecting data online versus in person. Also, discuss possible topics that might be better suited for online data collection as opposed to in person. for sure go into more detail on the yellow parts for the signature assignment. Thank you!
