QBRDM #6

Hi Elton,

I apologize for the lateness of this feedback. I was working with another student in her dissertation. It was a rush job to be perfected. Therefore, your feedback was put on hold to allow for the other student's feedback. Since this was a PowerPoint presentation feedback, it seems that this one would not put your others at risk if this was later than normal.

The feedback for this assignment is going to be different from the feedback that you received in your other submissions. A PowerPoint presentation is not going to be looked at in the way that paper submission is viewed. The author of the assignment asked for the student to provide certain slides. These slides dealt with the five types of design approaches in qualitative methodology and how they fit with your research project. The feedback will follow the exact way that the author asked for you to conduct the PowerPoint presentation. I will use the exact assignment and fill in what was positive or negative feedback within that assignment.

*********************

Create an instructor’s presentation to teach students about qualitative research designs. This week, you were presented with three different qualitative research designs. Determine the value of each of the five designs explored over the last two weeks, and then critique the utility of each one relative to your research problem. Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:

Cover and references slides (these do not contribute to sliding count)

The problem to be investigated (your problem statement from Week 1)

A critique of five qualitative research designs

Comparison and contrast of the value of these designs

Defense of your selection of one of the designs covered this week

Note: This presentation should be usable in a teaching environment

Length: 8- to 10-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. Speaker notes (minimum 200 words per slide)

***************

Therefore, this project should have included the following slides:

COVER (not part of the required 8-10 slides)

The problem to be investigated (your problem statement from Week 1)

A critique of five qualitative research designs

(Read the above assignment) You were to critique the utility of each one relative to

your research problem (I would think that this would take up 5 slides – one for each

type of design).

Comparison and contrast of the value of these designs

(Which would be the best for your given research project = compare and contrast

while using your research project to be an example of what would be a good idea

or a bad idea for this project.)

Defense of your selection of one of the designs covered this week.

(Why did you pick the type of design covered? Defend it against each of the

other types of designs)

REFERENCE (not part of the required 8-10 slides)

(This is the slide where your references will be seen in APA format by the instructor.)

********************

YOUR FEEDBACK ACCORDING TO THE ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS. The red checkmark ( 3) signifies that this slide exists and is correct. The information in the BLUE GADUGI (this writing) is the feedback or what was found when examining your PowerPoint submission.

3COVER (not part of the 8-10 slides)

3Slide with your problem statement from your week 1 research problem.

3A critique of Grounded Theory’s utility to your research problem (problem statement).

An informative study of the grounded theory design was present. However, you should give me some more about how it would be used within the problem statement. Explain…

3A critique of Phenomenology’s utility to your research problem (problem statement).

An informative study of the Phenomenology design was present.

3A critique of Ethnography’s utility to your research problem (problem statement).

An informative study of the Ethnography design was present, and there is a relation to the research problem or the problem statement. However, more explanation of the design should be present before explaining it with your problem statement.

A critique of Narrative design’s utility to your research problem (problem statement).

An explanation of this design seems to be missing from your submission.

3A critique of Case Study’s utility to your research problem (problem statement).

An informative study of the Case Study design was present, but it did not relate to the research problem or the problem statement, as explained in the assignment.

3Comparison and contrast of the value of these designs

(Which would be the best for your given research project = compare and contrast

while using your research project to be an example of what would be a good idea

or a bad idea for this project.)

Nice explanation of comparison and contrast of the designs. It seems as if you may have mistaken biographic design as one that should have been included in this instead of including narrative design. There is a difference between them. However, that one slide was missing but you added a fifth design to this project and the comparison and contrast. Therefore, not having a narrative design in your comparison is not weighing against your submission because you do have a fifth design present.

3Defense of your selection of one of the designs covered this week.

(Why did you pick the type of design covered? Defend it against each of the

other types of designs)

Your reasoning of why phenomenology is a good approach is given. You should defend your reasoning for using this approach against the other four approaches. Think about the methodology of the approach. Soon you will have to explain the methodology itself as a part of your work.

3REFERENCE (not part of the 8-10 slides)

(This is the slide where your references will be seen in APA format by the instructor.)

The slides are present. However, the APA style is problematic because of the use of the design of the PowerPoint presentation. It seems to use all caps while APA frowns on the use of all caps. It also did not allow the italics of the journal and book names to come through. There are also issues with the APA style referencing because of missing parts of the references.

If you have any questions about any part of this or any future assignment, please feel free to contact me via Skype or NCU email.
