Describe one research study that is from the quantitative paradigm

Each student is responsible for an initial posting and responding to at least TWO peer’s postings during each learning module (LM).  Your initial posting is due by Wednesday at midnight and your 2nd responses are due prior to 11:59 PM on Sunday. Late postings will result in no credit.  (do not wait until the last minute to post your responses as you may be "shut out" of the system by Canvas.

• As a large part of the final grade, students are expected to participate regularly in Discussion Forum assignments. The grading rubric for contributions follows.
• Discussion Forums are ongoing interactive processes that occur throughout the LM. Interactions with other class members offer enriched learning. Last-minute posts do not demonstrate your best work.
• Contributions are evaluated on presentation of a meaningful ‘informed opinion,’ i.e., synthesis of your preparation on the topic, interaction with peers and faculty, and ongoing learning. Useful posts may include and are not limited to:
  • Posting your ‘take’ on the issue (this is informed by your preparation and noting of a professional resource such as a journal article and not a "gut reaction."
  • Asking critical thinking questions
  • Offering alternate interpretations and additional insights
  • Contributing to the learning of the group

Instructions:
