Analyze data to identify insights about your writing situation.

Based on the research plan and goals you recently drafted, choose a third data collection method, use the method to collect data, and upload the data you collected by Sunday. Review the methods on the page Research Methods for Studying your Writing Situation if you need a reminder about the various auto-ethnographic data collection methods that might work well for your project. Week 3 Overview: Gathering Data You recently observed writing in the world around you and you posed questions about that writing to learn more about it. You also read about the Unit 1 Project and drafted an initial research plan for your project, identifying a writing situation, a research question(s) relevant to the situation, and research methods for collecting data related to your situation. Now you will begin researching your writing situation. You will collect textual artifacts and will use two additional research methods that will help you answer your research question. You’ll also begin to develop an initial analysis and synthesis of your data. Specifically, the course activities this week will help you to: Use research methods to collect data about your writing situation. Analyze data to identify insights about your writing situation. Synthesize (look for patterns in) data to identify insights about your writing situation. Collecting Data: Researchers’ Experiences Despite your experiences with researching for course assignments, which may suggest that research is simply coming up with an argument and then finding source material to support your position, research-in-the-wild often looks much different. Like the writing process, the research process isn’t always well-defined and can be messy, isn’t linear but is recursive. You don’t always know the answer to your research questions when you start. In fact, you may not even have a clear sense of what your research goals are when you start out. Or, you might find that what you thought you’d research is too difficult or uninteresting and instead choose to refine your research focus or question. The point is this: Effective writers learn to be comfortable with the messiness and uncertainty of research. They learn to embrace and respond to the emerging insights that research uncovers, and they are practiced at using new insights to refine, reshape, and even completely rethink their research goals. Research Methods for Studying Your Writing Researching Yourself: An Overview of Autoethnographic Research Methods What is autoethnography? To understand autoethnography, you first must understand two other terms: qualitative research and ethnography. Qualitative research is a method of research in which the researcher gains an understanding of the behavior or thinking of humans by studying them closely. Rather than using statistics, surveys, and other methods of collecting data that call for a large number of humans to respond, qualitative research relies on a much smaller sample of human participants—perhaps even just one human—to gain an understanding about human behavior or thinking. Ethnography is a way of doing qualitative research in which a researcher immerses himself/herself with members of a different culture for a period of time long enough to understand something about the other culture. For example, a researcher from the United States might want to go to another country and study the ways the people of that country raise their children. In this way, the researcher would understand something about human behavior or thinking in that culture by observing people in their real-world settings. When conducting ethnographic research, researchers will employ particular data collection methods that will give them valuable information to answer their research question. These methods will likely include a great deal of observation, along with interviewing participants and collecting artifacts that would help the researcher understand the humans living in that culture. Autoethnography is a method of researching oneself. Just as in ethnography, the researcher systematically collects and analyzes data to understand something about human behavior, but in autoethnography, the primary research participant is the researcher herself/himself. When you study one of your writing situations for the Unit 1 Project, you will be engaging in qualitative, autoethnographic research because you will be studying yourself as a writer. You will look at your thinking and behaviors through the eyes of a researcher and will collect data on yourself in order to answer your Unit 1 Project research question. Consequently, you’ll likely gain a new understanding of humans as people who use writing resourcefully to meet their needs and the needs of others. How do you do autoethnography, exactly? You’ll need to become familiar with several autoethnographic data collection methods in order to collect data that you can analyze to reach new insights about your research question. Different types of data collection methods return different types of data. Researchers must have clear goals about what they want to know and then choose methods that will return useful data for them. Research Methods (Data Collection Methods) The tabs below describe different data collection methods that may be applicable to your Unit 1 Project writing situation and research question. Collecting Relevant Textual Artifacts For this method, you locate and save artifacts—any objects that are relevant to your writing situation. For the Unit 1 Project, I require that at least three of your artifacts must be texts written by you. You may also want to collect relevant writing that has been written by others (e.g. written feedback others have given you about your writing, text messages, Facebook comments, assignment sheets, correspondence, inspirational quotes, how-to guides, etc.). This method of collecting data may include searching through digital archives, such as old email files, or looking through physical archives, such as the stack of papers you’ve kept from your high school days.

Calculate the compa-ratio for each individual customer service representative.

You just learned how to evaluate pay compression by computing compa-ratios and comparing them with employee tenure. Now, it’s time to apply your new skills to a new dataset, which appears in the sheet called “Practice” in the Excel workbook. Imagine that you’re working at a different company but are still focusing on the job of a Customer Service Representative. There are 108 customer service representatives, and the pay range/grade midpoint for the job is $41,250. Respond to the following: 1. Introduce the topic, why it is important, and the specific assignment. Include appropriate attribution. 2. Calculate the compa-ratio for each individual customer service representative. What is the highest and lowest compa-ratio that you observed? What does that mean (include appropriate attribution)? 3. Calculate the overall average compa-ratio across all customer service representatives. What is it? Is the company compensating people noticeably below or above the pay range/grade midpoint (on average)? Explain (include appropriate attribution). 4. Create a scatterplot with the tenure and compa-ratio variables. Is there evidence of pay compression or inversion? How do you know (include appropriate attribution)? 5. Include a few of your own screen shots of the work to ensure you independently completed the assignment. These can be included as an appendix at the end of the report (after your reference page) of built into the report. You can use “snipping tool” to copy / place your screenshots (for ease of reproduction and placement).

Knowing what you do about the functions of sleep and dreaming, what would be some advantages and drawbacks of such a pill from a personal standpoint?

There are many reasons that we need to sleep. It is a restorative process that helps us function. Suppose that a new “miracle pill” allows a person to function with only one hour of sleep per night. However, because a night’s sleep is so short, a person who takes the pill will never dream again. Knowing what you do about the functions of sleep and dreaming, what would be some advantages and drawbacks of such a pill from a personal standpoint? Would you take such a pill? You should offer at least one citation to support your work.

Describe why you chose this social media page as the one that you can best relate to or like the best.

When using social media, the communication barrier of distance is eliminated. This comes with obvious benefits, but it also comes with extra challenges due to the increased potential for misunderstandings with cultural differences and language barriers. The person that knows how to use communication opportunities will have a strong advantage in their work and in their networking and relationships.

This assignment has two parts to it.

Part 1:

Locate and study social media pages of businesses that are making an effort to market their product globally.  You can use any social media platform you choose. Examine what you believe the companies are doing well and what can be improved. Look for ways in which their communication are clear to a large number of people, breaking through language and cultural barriers. Also look for ways in which the pages could be improved due to the limitations and challenges of global communication.

After you have studied several pages that are seeking to reach a large number of people, choose three of them.

1A. Choose the page that you feel does the best job overall.

Describe why you feel like this social media page was the best one that you viewed. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

1B. Choose one that needs improvement.

Describe what you see that needs improvement in their effort to reach people globally. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

1C. Choose one that most closely represents the type of page that you might create in the future. If you have no interest or potential need for ever creating a social media page that is intended to reach the masses globally, then choose one that you are interested in and like.

Describe why you chose this social media page as the one that you can best relate to or like the best. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

Note: Do not use the same social media page for more than one of these three choices. For example, do not say that one social media page was the best and also the one that you would be most likely to create a similar page as.  In other words, do not use one social media page for both 1A and 1C. You need to choose three separate pages in total.

Part 2:

Now you will use what you have learned to create your own social media page with the intent of reaching the masses. You will not need to actually create a page on a social media platform. Creating a fake company or organization online could obviously cause problems. Instead, emulate the formatting of a social media page, and create it so that you can submit it to your instructor.

Take what you learned from Part 1 to create the best fake social media page you can on an imaginary company or organization of your choice. Your company or organization can be anything you want, just ensure that it is class-appropriate. Describe what you learned in this assignment and how you incorporated that knowledge into your social media page.

Analyze the major current contributors to insurance coverage gaps

Why Are So Many People Uninsured and Underinsured?

Many Americans are still confronting medical bills that are large enough to threaten their family financial health, up to and including personal bankruptcy. While more people have health insurance under the ACA, some people still lack coverage or have significant gaps in coverage for a variety of reasons. Some expenses are related to the high cost of treatments for certain diseases and conditions. Other expenses are related to the “routine” costs associated with insurance premiums and cost sharing for covered benefits.

1. Analyze the major current contributors to insurance coverage gaps (no coverage and gaps in coverage).
