Order Description
Shovel Bum: Comix of Archaeological Field Life by Trent de Boer.
When you write the review you should follow the following outline.
DO NOT USE bold outline HEADLINES.
You are writing a review that should read smoothly.
What is below is merely an outline/ the struture/ formula of the review you are writing. This is how YOUR review will be structured. This is how your formal review should be organized. This is the sequence of what follows what. This is a generic outline for a formal review typically used in many peer reviewed journals, position papers, reviews of articles, films, books, etc..
1.Your introduction. Your first paragraph. This should be modeled after the one provided in the instructions.
2. The summary of the book you are reviewing. This should be a thorough summary so that the purpose of the author (of the paper you are reviewing) is made clear as well as sufficient academic information from the work is made available to me (the reader.) So while you may not review every chapter in DETAIL, you need to let the reader (me) know about ALL the chapters and then pick one or two to go into detail. It might be several paragraphs.
3. The weak points of the book you are reviewing. This should be a separate and distinct section and should have examples given so to support concrete any statement you make. This is part of critical any analysis.
4. The strong points of the book. This should be a separate and distinct section and should have examples as well. This is part of any critical analysis.
5. Your personal opinion on any subject that the book you are reviewing touches on. This should be a separate and distinct section , perhaps with some examples and not be just a few sentences.
6. A brief conclusion or summary of your review that is a separate and distinct section and should include an idea for the next piece of research that should be done to continue the research in the book you reviewed.
If the author of the paper you are reviewing cites SOMEONE ELSE (lets say Freud) THEIR paper, you must make it clear to the reader (me) that you did not read the original article Freud wrote, that you read a mention of Freud in the article you are reviewing. Hence, you would say, “According to the authors, Jones and Smith, Freud often stated that women were unhappy.”
If you use some other source, such as your text book, you might state something…
“Children are often looking for approval (Berger, 2004)” Berger is the text book with the date.
APA does NOT USE PAGE NUMBERS!!!!!!!! Do not use MLA citation format.
External Citations (this is your workcited page)
If you have only cited yourself or th ebook under review, you DO NOT NEED A REFERENCE/WORK CITED/BIBLIOGRAPHY page!
Put all your references that you actually read and cited inside your review.
3:Observational Studies and Coding
In Chapter 7, you read about naturalistic research methods. This type of research is designed to help the researcher understand behavior in the setting in which it occurs naturally, rather than in a laboratory or other controlled setting. Naturalistic research is appealing because it simulates reality. However, it is challenging because the researcher has limited control over the participants and the settings.
Observational research is one of the common types of naturalistic designs. As a researcher, you might hide your identity and blend in with the natural environment. In this case, you would be an unacknowledged observer in the study. When appropriate, you also may let participants know, usually after you have conducted your observations, about the study and reveal your identity. In this case, you would be an acknowledged observer in the study. In both cases, it is a challenge to measure and record the behavior you are studying because the participants are usually moving constantly, and/or are scattered about, thus making it difficult to record every behavioral occurrence under observation. Since you are observing behavior and not using surveys or other means to collect data from your participants, you need to clearly identify the behavior you are studying and use a coding sheet to track the observed behavior.
In this Discussion, you develop an idea for a hypothetical observational study and create a coding sheet you could use to record your observations.
To prepare:
Read Chapter 7 in your course text.
Review the coding form example in Figure 7.1 on page 138 of your course text.
Choose a setting where you would enjoy observing behavior. It might be someplace you go everyday (like the grocery store) or it might be a place you would like to go (such as a city park).
Create a coding form for a hypothetical observational study of the setting your selected. Use the coding sheet in the course text as an example, but create something that is entirely your own. Note: This is a hypothetical study. You are creating a coding form but not conducting the actual observation study (because you would need to obtain IRB approval first).
Prepare to upload your coding form as an attachment (in .doc or .rtf format) to your posting.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3:
The topic of your hypothetical observational study. This should also be in the “Subject” field of your post this week (e.g., Child Playground Behavior).
In the main body of your post, provide background information on your hypothetical observational study, including the setting, why you are interested in this study, and what you hope to learn.
Explain whether you would be an acknowledged or unacknowledged observer and why.
Describe the types of behavior and the episodes you included on your coding form.
Upload the coding form you created as an attached document (.doc or .rtf format).
Note: Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
