I WILL SEND YOU A SAMPLE..I want to be similar as my sample with graphics.The questions must be 20.You must use SPSS to get this tables and statistics.
The quantitative portfolio is to consist of four individual items. A hand out for each item will be distributed in class. The four items are:
Questionnaire Design
Data Entry
Statistical testing: Descriptive analysis
Statistical Testing: T-Test
Quantitative methodologies offer the possibility to measure the current tendencies and peoples’ behaviour in a geographical area, making possible to quantify the reality, generalise the results and to replicate the study. The majority of the studies based on quantitative techniques use questionnaires to obtain the data. Each type of questionnaire has different needs. The typology and the measure of the answer can be different as well and this will affect the type of statistical procedures applied in order to analyse the obtained results.
This practical activity is about questionnaires and has three parts: design, codification and
data entry for SPSS.

Part 1: Identifying Types of Data Used in the Research.

Identify for the following cases, the type of data (nominal, ordinal and interval) collected and justify why.
Data = Colour:

Data = Temperature:

Data= Job:

Data= Age:

Data = Perceived motivations (scale):

Data = Income:

Data = Agreement / disagreement on a topic (scale):

Part 2: Codifying the Questionnaire. Preparing the Data for SPSS.

For the second part of the activity, you need to code the following questionnaire. Inorder to analyze the data in SPSS, the data collected must be converted into numerical codes

and organized in a systematic “machine readable” manner, that is to say, codes.

Example Questionnaire:

General Information

1. Where do you live? (you can choose only one option)

Newcastle/Gateshead wider area Scotland

Another area in the North East Wales/North Ireland

Another area of England Outside the UK

2. Which football team do you support? (only tick one)

Newcastle United Darlington Hartlepool

Middlesbrough Sunderland AFC Other

3. Do you regularly go to the Stadium to see the match? (only tick one)

Very rarely Rarely Often Very often

4. And, is the football match the main reason for you to be here today?

Yes No

5. Have you done or are you going to do any other activities? (you can choose more than one option)

Shopping Outdoor activities

Culture and arts Gastronomy (food, drink,…)

Historical sites and heritage Sightseeing

Going to a restaurant Going to a pub before or after the match

Other sport events Other (specify):____________________

Socioeconomic information

6. Age

18 – 24 25 – 34 35 – 44

45 – 54 55 – 64 65 +

7. Gender

Male Female

8. Please, could you indicate what is your highest level of education?

Primary School Secondary School Vocational education

Bachelor degree Master or doctoral degree Other (specify):_____________

9. To which interval your annual household income belongs to? (optional)

Less than £5000 £5001 – £10,000 £10,001 – £20,000

£20,001 – £30,000 £30,001 – £40,000

£40,001 – £50,000 £50,001 – £70,000 £70,001 and above

Part 3: Designing a Questionnaire.

For the third part of the activity you need to design a questionnaire of up to 20 questions for a

project measuring tourism /hospitality/event satisfaction. First you must think about what information you want to collect and what kind of questionnaire you want to develop. You also need to decide the size of the sample. The questionnaire survey is always the culmination of a careful process of thought and discussion.

Steps to design the research:

§ Define the problem and the type of information required.

§ Design the questionnaire.

§ Include a range of question types within the questionnaire

Remember to include the following in your portfolio:

§ An individual questionnaire

§ Include a range of question types

Part 1: Getting to know SPSS. Exploring the data in SPSS.

The first step is to understand how SPSS is used as well as the characteristics of the dataset.

For this part you need to:

§ Explore the Travel Data which has already been inserted into SPSS.

Part 2: Descriptive statistics

The second step is to describe the data you are using. For this part you need to complete the

following tasks:

1) Provide a frequency analysis for the variables.

Using 6 examples from the variables within the data set provided show the frequencies of data:

§ Using tables

§ Using charts and graphs

2) Explain the results

The final step is to present the results obtained in the frequency analysis. You should present

them together with a short commentary of 250 words explaining the results.

Remember to include the following in your portfolio:

§ Statistical sample table from SPSS

§ Demonstrate the frequency analysis table for each variable

§ Show how the frequency data can be shown in a word document (table)

§ Present the data using graphics (charts/graphs)

§ Explain what the frequency data is showing

Part 1: Cross-tabulation

First of all you need to analyse the relationship between the variables in the database. You need to complete the following cross-tabulation analysis, and justify in each case whether the relationship is statistically significant.

Cross Tabulation:

§ Tourism attractions Sunderland Stadium of Light*Gender

§ Tourism attractions Sunderland Stadium of Light * Age groups

Part 2: Presenting Descriptive Data

In the second part, you need to present the results graphically using Excel. Excel is more effective than SPSS to create and display charts and figures.

First of all you need to make a column chart in Excel using the tables from you cross-tabulations:

§ Tourism attractions Sunderland Stadium of Light*Gender

§ Tourism attractions Sunderland Stadium of Light * Age groups

Remember to include the following in your portfolio:

§ Sample statistical data tables for:

§ Stadium of Light*Gender

§ Stadium of Light*Age Groups

§ Cross tabulation tables

§ Produce individual graphical charts to present data

§ Explain the patterns within the data

§ Present a chi square to show if there are any significant differences between the variables

§ Explain and justify your reasons if there are or are not any significant differences in the

data

There are other several statistical tests that you can perform including a t-test (sample comp

1. From the list below, please select one element and show the development of that element from three different literary works we’ve studied in this course up to Cather. One of the literary works you pick MUST be My Antonia. Discuss each literary work in chronological order, beginning with the oldest and ending with My Antonia.
a. the TELLING OF STORIES BY INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS, within the larger work
b. the usefulness and worth of COMMUNITIES OF PEOPLE.
c. the POSSIBILITY OF WOMEN’S POWER
d. the straightforwardness, or the complexity, of POINT OF VIEW (who’s telling the story and how)
For example, I might be really interested in the question of point of view. I’d select two works in addition to Cather that I think might work well. . . .say, Clemens and Jewett. I’d look closely at who’s telling the story and HOW, and I’d notice as much as I could. First-person, for instance. Plus, lots of words “from the horse’s mouth,” meaning the “actual” speech of “real” people. There are some changes, though. . . I’d notice those too. My thesis might ultimately be something like the following:
“From Clemens’s focus on ________________ in point of view to Jewett’s reinterpretation of that quality into _________________, we see an overall progression to the variation of these ideas that Cather does, by having Jim Burden __________________.”
(A nice, meaty thesis, in other words, that will really set up my essay, AFTER I’ve done all my thinking. . . .)
A hint on this assignment: use the mini-lecture notes on the changes in literary movements to help direct your thinking. . . in other words, don’t just fly in the dark according to your personal tastes and opinions; used the course material as well.
NOTE: I WILL INCLUDE THE LECTURES TO FUTHER HELP ALONG WITH ALL THE READING ASSIGNED. YOU CHOOSE WHICH ONES TO USE IN ADDITION TO My Antonia
READINGS (in chronological order as there were assigned):
Walt Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”
Samuel Clemens’s (Mark Twain’s) “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”
Brete Harte’s “The Outcasts of Poker Flat”
Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”
Henry James’s “Daisy Miller”
and “The Beast in the Jungle”
Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs
Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening”
Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat”
Booker T. Washington’s Chapter II, “Boyhood Days,”

“Mang tzu (370-286 BCE) [a founding Confucian scholar] known to the West as Mencius, was born in the principality of Tsau, located in what is now the province of Shantung.”
Mencius said:
“The trees of the Niu mountain were once beautiful. Being situated, however, in the borders of a large State, they were hewn down with axes . . . Could they still retain their beauty? And yet, through the regenerative powers of the vegetative life, day and night, and the nourishing influence of the rain and dew, the plants were not without buds and sprouts springing forth. But then came cattle and goats, and browsed upon them. To these things is owing the bare and stripped appearance of the mountain which, when people see it, they think it was never finely wooded. But is what they see the nature of the mountain?”
“And so also of what properly belongs to man: shall it be said that the mind of any man was without benevolence and righteousness? The way in which a man loses his proper goodness of mind is like the way in which the trees are denuded by axes . . . Hewn down day after day, can the mind retain its beauty? But there is a development of its life day and night, and in the calm air of the morning, just between night and day, the mind feels in a degree those desires and aver­sions which are proper to humanity; but the feeling is not strong, and it is shackled and destroyed by what takes place during the day. This destruction taking place again and again, the restorative influence of the night is not sufficient to preserve the proper goodness of the mind. And when this proves insufficient for that purpose, man’s nature becomes not much different from that of the irrational animals. When they see this, people think that the mind never had those powers which I assert. But does this condition represent the feelings proper to humanity?”

1. Please read “The Trees of the Niu Mountain” by Mang tzu and answer these questions:
[a] Explain what the metaphor of the mountain means.
[b] Does the author think human nature is basically “good” (cooperative and constructive) or “bad” (uncooperative and irrationally destructive)? Do you agree?
[c] In ethical terms, what are some of the forces that can destroy a beautiful soul or character?
[d] Given the date and source of this reading, what can we conclude about the possibility that some core values are broadly shared among people in diverse cultures? How could such “core values” arise?
ALL the idea should from the article, i give to you, don’t use other source (half page, 125words)
2.Please review the assigned excerpts from An Anatomy of Life in the Death Camps by Terrence Des Pres. Kindly respond to this question:

“Does Terrence Des Pres think the human moral sense is an idealistic illusion or an evolutionary survival strategy?”
Please explain your answer, agreeing or disagreeing with Des Pres’ analysis. Cite at least one of the numbered paragraphs for support. (half page, 125 words)
Please use all the detail from the ATTACH, don’t use other resource.

Using your readings from this module, and at least two additional resources, evaluate group/team development by considering the following:
• Using Table 11-1, what must be done to turn Google’s HR group into a team?
• Explain how Google’s HR team members could have been instructed in the teamwork competencies from Table 11-3.
• How important is trust to a cross-functional team? Describe how managers can build trust among cross-functional teams, which comprise diverse backgrounds and differing perspectives.
• Explain which type of cohesiveness, socio-emotional or instrumental, is more important in this type of cross-functional team.
• What strategies would you offer Google’s Laszlo Bock to help in creating, developing, and leading effective cross-functional work teams?
Table 11-1 Evolution of a Team
A work group becomes a team when
1. Leadership becomes a shared activity
2. Accountability shifts from strictly individual to both individual and collective
3. The group develops its own purpose or mission
4. Problem solving becomes a way of life, not a part-time activity
5. Effectiveness is measured by the group’s collective outcomes and products
Table 11-3 How Strong Are Your Teamwork Competencies

Changes or modifies position if a defensible argument is made by another team member. Projects courtesy and friendliness to others while arguing position.
Google’s “Three-Thirds” HR Team.
If you’ve ever imagined a “dream team” of human resource professionals, a collection of diverse talent drawn up to have maximum impact on organizational results, it may have had similarities to the People Operations department at Google, the fast-growing technology company in Mountain View, Calif.
Google’s HR team is built on what Laszlo Bock, vice president of global people operations, calls the “three-thirds” staffing model. Roughly one-third of the team’s employees have HR backgrounds and bring expertise in client relations as well as specialty skill areas such as employment law, and compensation and benefits. This group also has what Bock calls high-level “pattern recognition” skills, or the ability to identify organizational trends and anticipate issues even before they’re on line units’ radar. An example would be predicting ebbs and flows in hiring and attrition.
Another third have little or no human resource experience and were recruited from strategic consulting firms or Google line functions such as engineering or sales. Most in this group are embedded within business units. Staff in this subgroup have “tremendous problem-solving skills and knowledge about how everything outside of HR works,” Bock says. “If you can find people with that skill set, plus an aptitude for people-related issues, we’ve found they partner very well with traditional HR employees.”
The final third is a workforce analytics group featuring people who hold doctorates in statistics, finance, organizational psychology and other areas. These analysts help make determinations on matters such as setting compensation levels that will retain top talent for maximum periods and conducting the right number of interviews to ensure selection of the best job candidate.
Subteams within this third group also conduct more-esoteric research. For example, they explore cognitive heuristics–the mental shortcuts that people use in making decisions or solving problems but that can also lead to biases.
This group also examines ways to counter influences such as the halo effect–a job candidate considered good or bad in one category is assumed by hiring managers to be similarly good or bad in other categories–and the recency effect, in which too much weight is given to an employee’s most recent performance in yearly evaluations.
Analytics specialists also focus on predictive modeling, or using principles of mathematics and psychology to determine the profiles of people who will be most successful at Google and those likely to leave the company prematurely based on their changing behavior patterns.
“This group helps us prove what we do in People Operations works and contributes directly to Google’s business results,” Bock says.
While the three-thirds model might appear to set up walled-off silos in the department, Bock encourages regular interaction and knowledge sharing among HR team members.

1. two of the four questions in part I in approximately 750-1,000 words each, OR

2. answer question 5in part II alone.
Answers are due Thursday, November 7 at 5 pm.

PART I

1. How does Stanley Milgram’s discussion of the “Perils of Obedience” bear on conceptions of professional ethics? What does Milgram believe is the relationship between the obedience and individual morality? Is individual morality the biggest determinant in how people behave in situations where they are being influenced by authority to act in ways that violate their own moral norms? Explain.

2. Regarding the usefulness and value of ethical codes, who is on firmer ground, John Ladd or Michael Davis? Why? Explain as clearly as you can.

3. Using Macintyre’s theoretical framework (that is, by reference to terms like “internal goods,” and “external goods”), explain why someone who loves the child depicted in MacIntyre’s “chess” example might offer her some candy to play chess when she doesn’t want to play? And why might one offer her twice as much candy if she plays well? Refer directly to the paragraph in “The Nature of the Virtues” where this is discussed, making sure to explain all its relevant aspects.

4. What is an engineer? Specifically, is an engineer anyone possessed of the deontic powers and responsibilities of an engineer, or is being an engineer essentially a matter of being possessed of the “substantive functional capacities” as Seumas Miller would suggest? Explain as clearly as you can.

Seumas Miller on Searle’s discussion of deontic powers:

Consider an incompetent surgeon who is incapable of performing a successful operation on anybody. . . By virtue of being a fully accredited surgeon this person has a set of deontic properties, including the right to perform surgery, and others have deontic properties in relation to him . . .Moreover, these deontic properties are maintained in part by, say, the Royal College of Surgeons, his colleagues and the community. However, the surgeon simply does not possess the substantive functional capacities of a surgeon. The deontology is there but the underlying functional capacities are not. Accordingly, it is arguably false to claim that he is a surgeon. If someone cannot perform, and knows nothing about, surgery he is surely not a surgeon, irrespective of whether he is the possessor of the highest professional qualification available, is treated as if he were a surgeon, and indeed is widely believed to be the finest surgeon in the land . . .

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/social-institutions/

PART II
5. On page 426 of Steven Epstein’s essay, in discussing Gieryn’s “boundary work” thesis he argues that the “recent reconfiguration of the boundaries (Gieryn 1983) between the “inside” and the “outside” of biomedicine has been the outcome of struggle.” Can the same be said for the “inside” and “outside” of engineering and its subfields?

Your task here is to do an analysis of a moment of “struggle” over norms within engineering, and questions of relevant expertise. Examine the discourse around the official NIST investigation of the collapse WTC Building 7, and determine:

1. whether that investigation was conducted in a way that conformed to the norms of engineering investigations of this sort. Determine whether the investigation sought to, and did successfully, answer the relevant questions raised about the fate of the building, or whether legitimate questions remain; and

2. how organizations critical of the NIST narrative have fared in making a case for their own expertise as a basis for rejecting the official narrative (an example of such a group would be Architects & Engineers for 9/11 truth, www.ae911truth.org). In your view, is this an organization whose voice should be considered an expert one?

The instructions are divided into two sections, shown below.
A. PRIMARY DOCUMENTS:
Preparing for the documents: Read the section below, entitled “Handling primary documents” and “Videos used in college history courses.” Next, select documents that will form much of your paper.(See below for maximum and minimum numbers concerning documents.)Third, read the introductions to the primary documents you selected. Finally, read the questions in Strayerthat appear before each of your chosen primary documents. Once you have done this, you are now fully prepared to tackle each piece.
Working with the documents:Go over each document twice. The first time, read it quickly for general impressions. The second reading should focus on specific details of relevance to your writing and your analysis of the piece. Important: Don’t be alarmed or frustrated if you encounter passages that seem hard to follow, or by unfamiliar terminology. Remember, these documents were not written for us of the present. But by keeping the document criteria in mind and questions posed by Strayer, you can bring clarity to this material. In line with the spirit of this assignment, I will not require you to answer every one of the questions associated with that document. The best work, however, will incorporate comments and observations based on some of Strayer’s questions. All in all, the best paper will answer some of the questions, blending these into your personal impressions and observations of that piece. Although you are encouraged during class to brainstorm and review documents with your classmates, the paper you write must be distinctly your own. Submitted work that appears nearly identical to that of another student will be set aside and checked for academic dishonesty.
B. VIDEOS (GENERALLY) SHOWN IN CLASS:
Part of your journal assignment will also consist of responses to some of the videos presented in class. To handle this successfully, please do the following:
Preparing for the videos: First, refer to the section on “Handling primary documents.” Videos often share similar issues found in written materials. Second, examine any of the questions that, together with the video link, sometimes form some of my PowerPoint presentations. Third, be sure to refer to the How to Study History in College document (in Course Guides) for criteria to keep in mind when viewing the videos.
Working with the videos:
In order to save time in the end, you are strongly encouraged to take notes while viewing them in class. Doing this will insure that you have strong material you can use when crafting your paper. Second, browse through the weekly folders. Look for content that you have never seen or already viewed. Third, rescreen a video that you already saw, or view one that is entirely new to you. As with the documents, devote the first viewing to general impressions and subsequent viewings with locating details.
C. TECHNICAL AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT
A completed assignment will consist of four sections: (1.) an introduction, (2.) your handling of selected primary documents (summation and your insightful comments); (3.) your handling of selected videos (summation and your insightful comments); and (4.) your overall thoughts on your experiences with videos and documents as primary sources. Begin your journal by furnishing an introduction of a few paragraphs, which will preview for the reader the content you will cover. Your journal will cover some of the types of issues that might be found in the Handling Primary Documents” section, but more loosely structured and with a casual style. For stylistic reasons and due to the nature of this assignment, you are strongly encouraged to write with self-references (“I,” “we,” or “us”) throughout. Experiment to find the balance of summation, observation and analysis that works best for you. Both primary documents and videos must find a place in your journal. If you focus more on videos, there’ll need to be at least two documents and if documents, at least two videos, in your work. In any case, you will need to write about six items altogether. For writing standards, please consult The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition or the Steve Volk Footnote/Endnote guide (based on the 15th edition, and found in Course Guides folder.)
Here are the technical requirements for this assignment. Your paper should be (on average) about nine or ten pages long, double-spaced, with twelve-point font and one-inch margins. Be sure to paginate (number each page), and write both the class designation and the section number on the front page (History 110A, and your section number). An optional title page will not be included in the total number of pages. (A nine page paper is not a title page and eight pages of content, for instance.) To indicate a new section, the title of a section should appear above the beginning of that section. Avoid large amounts of blank space between sections, as this is bad formatting! Although you will not need footnotes or endnotes, you will need to include a list of sources (bibliography) at the end of your final section. I am somewhat flexible as to the exact page count. But avoid extremes. A paper that is four pages will be far too brief, but one of eighteen pages will need to be trimmed. Please contact me before the very last minute if you face any problems regarding this assignment.
