For each question below determine if it is reliable (unbiased) or unreliable (biased). If the question is unreliable state what type of biased question it is! such as negative questions or double-barreled questions and justify your response! NUMBER each answer accordingly before answering (like””1C. This question is…” ) so I know which question you are referring to. Use this website to assist you: 11 Biased & Unbiased Question Examples in Surveys https://www.formpl.us/blog/biased-survey-question-example , feel free to research your own to understand the concept further. NO HEADERS OR TITLES.

A) Diagram this type of research design With Os and Xs. (This doesnt need to be a paragraph, if you dont understand leave blank. (Ex: 2A. Blank))

B) Describe nonequivalent control group design and what are its strengths (be detailed!)

C) What are placebo influences and how social desirability factors? How can they adversely impact the results of nonequivalent control group design research?

Weaknesses

Identify 2 or 3 specific areas where you think the book could be improved. While this weakness might be related to something you actually believe to be incorrect, it is more likely to be something that the author omitted or neglected to address in sufficient detail.

Conclusion

Thin up or restate your thesis or make your final judgment regarding the book. You should not introduce new evidence for your argument in the conclusion. You can, however, introduce new ideas that go beyond the book if they extend the logic of your own thesis.

Page 9 of 9

  • Review the book in front of you, not the book you wish the author bed written. You can and should point out shortcomings or failures, but don’t criticize the book for not being something it was never intended to be.
  • With any luck, the author of the book worked hard to find the right words to express his/her ideas. You should attempt to do the same. Precise language allows you to control the tone of your review.
  • Never hesitate to challenge an assumption, approach, or argument. Be sure, however, to cite specific examples to back up your assertions carefully.
  • Try to present a balanced argument about the value of the book for its audience. You’re entitled—and sometimes obligated—to voice strong agreement or disagreement. But keep in mind that a bad book takes as long to write as a good one, and every author deserves fair …lent. Harsh judgments are difficult to prove and can give readers the sense that yon were unfair in your assessment.

Writing good academic book reviews gem easier with experience, just like any skill. And provided you meet your due dates and are amenable to any changes your professor may wish you to implement, your opportunities to make contributions in this genre and to the collective pursuits of a community committed to the advancement of knowledge will only increase with time. All you need to do is take that first step.

CMPSCI – 235 Guess the Number Program

This is the old “I’m thinking of a number between…”. When you run the program, the computer randomly generates a number. Then, the user is to guess the number. Upon guessing wrong, the program gives him/her a hint as to whether the guess is too high or too low. Once the number has been guessed, the game is over.

Create a program to input, keep track of, and check the user’s attempts to guess a randomly generated number. The input portion of the program will be a continuous loop, only breaking out of it when the user either guesses the correct number or by entering -1 to signify giving up. After each guess, the user will be informed of his guess being too high, too low, or exactly correct. Upon exiting the loop, the user is given feedback of their guesses .
