POST 1 Ms. Wortz

What type of research study are you the most comfortable with?

I find the form of research that I prefer is case study.For me, it is easier for my lifestyle and time constraints to just dial in on one topic or idea.When I have to do a comparison of many things, I find it difficult to focus and turn in quality work.However, in my current work, I am able to use any form of research required.I guess the difference for myself is when I am at work, I have the time to do the research, and when I am home I am bombarded with being a mom, wife, student, homemaker, etc.

How did participating in discussions help your understanding of the subject matter? Is anything still unclear that could be clarified?

The only helpful thing for me as far as discussions go, is peer responses.It allows me to get to a personal level with someone and just say what is on my mind. When I have to spend any length of time researching on how to answer someone, I lose interest.This is unfortunate., but never the less it is honest.

Has this course assisted you in understanding data presented in research studies that you come across in your daily life (work or personal)? Explain

I do not think that this class has prepared me for anything in my daily life.Maybe it has helped someone, but for me, the topics in this class, I am not able to apply to my daily life.

I am not able to list a reference for this answer.The reason for this, is I am answering basic questions and I do not see the necessity of finding a reference to support my thoughts.

However, I have listed a reference for case study.
