e. Was the manipulated variable applied to students individually or in groups?
A group of individuals was selected for the manipulated variable, concept mapping. Individuals, however, created concept maps and completed pre-tests and post-tests.
f. What additional detail could be provided about how the pre and posttest were administered?
Although the authors write that the tests were time intensive, readers want to know how long completing these tests took. In addition, readers want to know what the environment was like for taking the test. Could students have been distracted? Were they allowed to consult with their groups? Could they have cheated? Samples of the discussion questions, perhaps in an appendix, would also have been appropriate.
g. What information could be provided to address the possible and plausible threats to internal validity?
First, the researchers need to be more clear regarding the students' situation in groups and when collaboration was allowed and when it was not. Researchers need to also address the possibility of student's...
Suturing in Film Theory and Other Narrative Practices On a very literal level, to suture something is to sew something back together, usually imperfectly, usually with a substance that is alien to the body that is being altered -- such as the doctor's suturing thread that stitches together an open wound. On a semiotic level, according to Jacques-Alain Miller, Miller's definition of suture (in a nutshell) is that the suturing process
Although the research tools provided by the ISO 14001 framework are both qualitative and quantitative, this approach is consistent with the guidance provided by Neuman (2003) who points out that, "Both qualitative and quantitative research use several specific research techniques (e.g., survey, interview, and historical analysis), yet there is much overlap between the type of data and the style of research.

Human Memory Psychology This literature review upon human memory will cover a fairly wide spectrum of ideas regarding the subject. While there will be a number of connections among the divisions or categories of this literature review, there will certainly be several distinctions or differences among them. The psychological research a part of the review will span, roughly, the duration of the 21st century thus far, with a few sources of
" For example, of the materialism and penchant for "conspicuous consumption" among Romans of the time, Juvenal observes: in Rome we must toe the line of fashion, spending beyond our means, and often non-borrowed credit.
