WEEK 2 Discussion Forum Tables and Figures

Posted on: Sunday, June 7, 2020 10:08:06 AM EDT
 
WEEK 2 Discussion Forum Tables and Figures
 
Dear Class,
 
This week (Week 2), we are attaching tables and/or figures directly to the discussion forum.  Here are some tips in order to do so effectively.  I have provided some steps in order to assist with this problem.  This is necessary so that other students can effectively respond to you.
 
Also Walden provides examples in this link for Tables and Figures: /orders/academicguides.waldenu.edu/formandstyle/apa/tablesfigures/tables
Here is another link to a document that may be helpful with APA tables and SPSS
SPSS_Tables_to_APA_Style.pdf
 
Figures/Graphs:
 
1. Save graph from word document as a picture on your computer (PC)
2. Click insert/edit image icon located on the bottom left of your tool bar in blackboard (next to insert file icon)
3. Click browse my computer
4. Click pictures
5. Locate your graph/picture
6. Click open
7. Click insert
 
Using a Tool to Format APA Tables in SPSS Instructions:
 
In addition, here is some information on formatting tables in SPSS.  In case you are having difficulties within the class and having trouble creating APA tables, as well as have the default borders set.  Therefore, I created a file that you can upload into SPSS and allow all of your tables to appear as APA.  Here are the instructions on how to change default settings with SPSS into APA.  This method is much easier than the previous methods I have provided.  I hope these instructions help.
In SPSS

• Go to Edit > Options
• Go to the Pivot Tables tab
• Download the file (APA-table look 1 1.stt) that I attached in announcements to your PC
• Browse your PC and load the stt table look file into TableLook
• Please choose “shrink width to fit”.
• Press “Apply” at the bottom of the screen

 
File attachment for SPSS Table Fix.
APA-table look_1__1_ _2_.stt  
 
 
Remember when you click and copy the table from SPSS, you will need to put in the Table and Title and notes.
 
Here are some examples of APA tables and figures below:
 
 
Here is another table showing frequencies that I ran in SPSS after I completed the “Formatting APA Tables in SPSS Instructions above:
 
Remember when you click and copy the table from SPSS, you will need to put in the Table and Title and any notes as I have done below:
 

Note: Total Participants is 23503. Missing data is excluded from the total.

Week 1 Assignment – Calculating the Mean

Posted on: Thursday, June 4, 2020 9:53:37 AM EDT
 
Class, Please see your Social Statistics text (Chapter 3), SPSS text,  and/or skill building resources (Measures of Central Tendency) to calculate the mean.   It would also be good to post the actual SPSS output for the mean and provide a description of what this is telling you about the data set.

Reuse of Student Work Policy – Reminder

Posted on: Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:27:10 PM EDT
 
Reuse of Student Work Policy – Reminder
 
Dear Doctoral Students,
As you would expect, assignments at Walden in each course are not designed to be duplicated in another course. Part of the purpose and design of a doctoral program is not only to prepare you to be an expert in your chosen area (primarily done via your capstone  project or dissertation), but to gain breadth, knowledge, skills and expertise in the many other areas of public health.
Thus, please advised that Walden does not permit re-use of your own scholarly work, including repeating a course, unless permission is granted in advance of your assignment submission by your instructor. The one exception is your dissertation, which can draw from your previous work.
Please review the Students’ Misuse of Their Own Scholarly Work section of our Academic Integrity Policy within our Student Code of Conduct.
Repeating a course due to a course failure/withdrawal – Permission is required from your instructor in advance before submitting work you completed in your previous attempt. Assignments that can only be written/answered in one way and without variation may be approved.
Submitting an assignment or part of an assignment from another course – This is not permitted unless the assignment specifically calls for it. Check with your instructor first.
Reuse of work within the same course – Assignments, such as a Scholar Practitioner Project, that build each week are permitted and not considered re-use of work. Using a discussion post for a later assignment should be approved by your instructor.
Dissertation: Students are permitted to use work previously submitted in their courses
Refer to the Walden University Writing Center resources on “Citing Yourself”: http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa/citations/citingyourself  and http://academicanswers.waldenu.edu/a.php?qid=442531  as well as the APA 6th or 7th edition on “Self-Plagiarism”.
We wish you every success in your course and are here to help you meet the academic integrity requirements at Walden University.
Please contact Codeofconduct@mail.waldenu.edu  if you have any questions regarding our academic integrity policies. We are invested in your success and appreciate the commitment we see every day from our students, faculty and staff in upholding academic integrity.

Week 1 Assignment Due Day 7 and by – June 7, 2020

Posted on: Tuesday, June 2, 2020 6:09:06 PM EDT
 
Class,  Please remember that you do have an assignment this week in addition to the discussion assignment.
The assignment asks you to look at Variables, Measurement, and SPSS and hopefully you were able to down load the SPSS statistical software program.   Information is also provided regarding the download of SPSS and tutoring services to assist you in already posted announcements.
You will choose  one data set from two data sets that are provided.  Providing you have downloaded the SPSS, you should be able to just click on the data set you want to use and it will also open the SPSS software. You need to choose and open only one of the data sets (Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset). The data sets are found in this week’s Announcements/Doc Sharing and then choose two variables that interest you to complete this assignment from the data set you chose.
 

 

 
You will be expected to write a 1- to 2-page summary and include a description of what each of the variables measure, the unit of analysis, and an explanation of the levels of measurement for each variable (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio).  Please be sure to include implications for social change.  Additionally, please be sure to use proper APA formatting, which includes an APA title page. I look forward to reading your first assignment.
 
 
More detailed assignment Requirements and the proper naming convention and formatting for your assignment is found under the assignment instructions.
 
Please make sure to read all the requirements for the Week 1 Assignment.
 
Information is also provided regarding the download of SPSS and tutoring services to assist you.
 
Hope all goes well to complete the download of SPSS, data sets and other requirements to finish out week 1.

Re-authenticate SPSS Access

Posted on: Wednesday, July 26, 2017 3:46:21 PM EDT
 
Attention Students,
SPSS is a software package that provides students with statistical analysis, modeling, predictive, and survey research tools used in many of our courses and advanced research activities. Students can download the latest version of SPSS from the web free of charge. Walden is pleased to be able to continue offering this important resource free of charge for the duration of your program; and now the process for receiving SPSS is easier than ever.
Please note that all students will need to enter an updated access code on September 30, 2013 to re-authenticate their SPSS license. Read the instructions about updating an expired license. If you are in need of the latest version SPSS, version 20.0, you may download it by following the installation instructions.
Do I need to download the latest version?

• Yes, if you have an older version and would like the current version.
• Yes, if you had SPSS but your license has since expired and you need to continue using it.
• Yes, if you are beginning your first course where you will be using SPSS.

If you have any questions about this change or need assistance downloading SPSS, please contact Walden’s Student Support Team from your myWalden portal by choosing the Support tab and clicking “Click to Chat.” You can also call 1-800-WALDENU (925-3368) or e-mail support@waldenu.edu. Please include your name, student ID number, and degree program with any correspondence.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS: ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

• Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

• Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

• APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

• Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. Week 2 Assignment Data sets

• LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Week 2 Assignment Data sets

• Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

• Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.  Week 2 Assignment Data sets
