Please clearly identify every step (term/concept) when first used by underlining, BOLDING, OR highlighting it to demonstrate your intentional use. This is also a kindness to your reader: it aids in more efficient & accurate scoring; and that works in your favor too!
Q1 (includes all three parts- 1a, 1b, and 1c):
1a. First list and define in your own words any six (6) important terms or concepts concerning sociological research ethics discussed in our text (but NOT ASA’s 5 general principles) …remember to underline, BOLD, OR highlight them the first time used!
1b. Identify and provide apt examples for the six terms/concepts you’ve defined* by using studies discussed in the Zimbardo video.
1c. Last: support your argument… be specific and support the logic underlying your choice of examples by explaining how/why each of those six examples helps illustrate the elements or characteristics used by our text to describe/define those terms/concepts.
[*NOTE: you may choose to define ONE ethics term or concept NOT shown in the video; be sure to identify the study where it went missing and then explain how/why it would have been appropriate to include it. One to a customer, please!]
Q2 (includes all three parts- 2a, 2b, and 2c):
2a. First define in your own words all of the following terms or concepts
(remember to underline, BOLD, OR highlight them the first time used!)
induction
3 criteria for establishing causation
triangulation as discussed in Blackstone (our text)
triangulation as discussed by Whyte (in his video)
2b. Identify and provide apt examples for each of those terms or concepts by using Whyte’s Urban Spaces video.
2c. Last: be specific and support the logic underlying your choice of examples by explaining how/why each of those examples illustrates the elements or characteristics used by our text (and Whyte’s explanation for his meaning of triangulation) to describe/define those terms or concepts.
Q3 (includes all three parts- 3a, 3b, and 3c):
3a. First define in your own words all of the following terms or concepts:
(remember to underline, BOLD, OR highlight them the first time used!)
ideographic
nomothetic
unit of analysis
unit of observation
any one type of nonprobability sample
any one of the four levels of measurement (NOIR)
3b. Identify and provide apt examples for each of those terms or concepts by using Whyte’s Urban Spaces video.
3c. Last: be specific and support the logic underlying your choice of examples by explaining how/why each of those examples illustrates the elements or characteristics used by our text to describe/define those terms or concepts.
a bit of additional guidance:
An example is NOT a definition: the definition of the term “round” is NOT that it is “like an orange, a basketball, or the Earth”. Those are three examples of the term “round”. The term “round” defined: every point on the surface of the object has the same distance from the center. Can you define/explain our course terms/concepts (steps) accurately in your own words?
An assertion is NOT an explanation: an assertion is just a claim without support. You can assert that a particular scene in your chosen video provides an example for “ideographic”- and although I might/might not agree with you- you still need to provide an explanation for how or why that is so to support the claim. (And of course, if you don’t provide an accurate definition/explanation for “ideographic” first, then even an apt example and explanation of that example doesn’t really accomplish the task properly.)
general suggestions for crafting your responses: Don’t write introductions first. You actually have limited space, so make your argument immediately and support it immediately too. Fluff, repetition, and space games with font (etc.) earn no points. Consider writing your draft sooner rather than later- then put it aside. Re-read it with fresher eyes a little bit later to make sure you have followed the guidelines carefully and eliminated easily avoided errors that initially escaped you.
