EDD766 Final Reflection by Kevin Wong

Various types of descriptive statistics and the shared "lingo" across quantitative-based articles even though what is studied differs widely.

Losing a large part of my vision over the semester and my cohorts understanding and supporting me

The concept of worldviews!

The topic that was most impactful to me were sampling. I love to survey and sampling is my favorite part

Interactive M&M activity representing population

Reading is fundamental and clarification is best when you have questions / asking questions of my Cohorts for insight

four types of validity: Face validity, Content validity, Construct validity and

2024-12-10 02:46:28 UTC

Criterion validity

I found the AQC assignments to be super helpful in determining my understanding of each concept!

2024-12-10 02:46:38 UTC

The AQC assignments helped internalize the concepts we were exposed to over the weeks.

I think I now have a better understanding on Qualitative and quantitative and mixed methods. I now know that I will probably used mixed methods

Research is much broader than I came to this course with knowledge about/ new information on all types of research topics

2024-12-10 02:47:28 UTC

ANOVAs and other aspects of statistics will require more study to understand how and when to use.

How to design a Survey and using Qualtrics

2024-12-10 02:48:04 UTC

The whole course was intimidating to me. You did help ease my worries when we had a meeting. I now have a better under of AQCs

I've gotten a bit of exposure to studies that may serve as reference models for my work. I now feel there are some building blocks of research that I can draw from.

2024-12-10 02:49:08 UTC

I found the survey assignment challenging, but it was rewarding once I really understood it!

2024-12-10 02:49:53 UTC

Slowly but surely, I feel like this class is helping me refine my interests in what I want the main focus to be for my dissertation.

Defining worldviews

I have started looking at specific parts of each interest, and trying to break down broader themes.

2024-12-10 02:52:55 UTC

I came in the program thinking I knew what I wanted to do my dissertation on but since taking this course I am thinking about moving into another topic area where I can use more research methods

2024-12-10 02:59:48 UTC

bi/trivariate analysis development

I cannot think of one specific topic. I felt every meeting in this course was very enlightening. I seriously felt completely lost the first few sessions, then with a lot of patience and amazing direction from Dr. Wong, things started to click and that has ben a pretty awesome feeling. :)

THE SURVEY CREATION

I enjoyed doing this and am excited about the chance to use this during my dissertation

2024-12-10 03:03:25 UTC

I have found a lot of inspiration to research things I am ethically passionate about. It has helped me to refine my research interests to align with my views and inspired me to invest more time in research :)

Having to open my jumbo M&M's

But I enjoyed feeling what my Scholars felt when I did a similar method with them

Stronger Determination towards Dissertation Theory

The pieces are coming together with every course Thank you Professor

Real-Life Connections

You gave great real-life connections all semester Thanks

The AQC assignments were very challenging but I found them rewarding. They really pushed me to dive into information that was foreign to me and make sense of it. I have a long way to go in gaining a better understanding of all the concepts but I actually feel Like I have a strong foundation to work from now.

2024-12-10 03:08:48 UTC

The M & M activity and designing a survey was super impactful in helping me learn and process the content and material of our sessions. Visual learning is everything for me...pictures and using my hands help me significantly, in making sense of things.

Descriptive statistics were most impactful to me. I learned a lot from this course.

2024-12-10 17:53:56 UTC

I loved the M&M activity, and AQC assignments were very helpful to plan my future research.

2024-12-10 17:59:50 UTC

Statistics is challenging because I forgot much of it after my undergraduate program.

2024-12-10 18:33:05 UTC

The first F2F was thought provoking in that I came to the realization that further refinement of my research interests was needed. Its got me thinking about changing my research topic entirely.
