Assessment

Assessments and their preparation will not be discussed via email, however, you can pose questions via email. These questions will be answered in the lectures to ensure fairness.

Examination (50%)

The examination will consist of up to 10 short answer questions. All questions on the examination are compulsory and will be drawn from 50 pre-seen questions based on the lecture and tutorial material. These questions will be available to students in each lecture where relevant.

The provisional date of the one hour examination will be during 5th -22nd May, 2009 (final date to be confirmed).

Assignment (50%)

The individual assignment will take the form of a dissertation proposal to be handed into the Graduate Programme Office by 12 noon on 22nd April 2009

Details of how to put together your proposal will be provided during the Research Methods module. You must submit two copies to the Graduate Programmes Office. The assignment will be a research proposal for the dissertation and it will be structured according to an outline provided by the tutors. In appendix one of this module manual is the assessment grid tutors will use to mark your proposals.

Please note that your assignments may be analysed by Turnitin. In submitting your work online you are confirming that it is all your own work and that where you have incorporated the work of others, you have correctly acknowledged that fact, e.g. by using references. You are also agreeing that it can be electronically checked for plagiarism. A copy of this work will be kept as part of the detection service reference database and will be used solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism.

Please remember that prior to submitting your proposal you need to submit a dissertation outline (an MSc Dissertation Registration Form) to the Graduate Programmes Office. This is a short document which is not assessed and is only use to allocate supervisors. Below is a timetable to ensure you understand the deadlines and repercussions of not handing in specific documents on time!!

PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING COURSEWORK FOR ASSESSMENT

1. Each piece of work submitted should be submitted with an 'Assessed Coursework Feedback Form' as a front sheet. Copies of these front sheets (3 pages) are available in the Coach house.

2. You will note that as part of our move to anonymous marking, these sheets ask you to state your UB student identification number (from your ID card e.g. 06000001) ONLY and not your name. Complete the following boxes:

UB Number Date of submission

Programme Module Leader

Attendance mode Module Title

Fasten the feedback sheet securely to your assignment (preferably stapled). When submitting group coursework only one 'Assessed Coursework Feedback Form' should be submitted and ALL the UB numbers must be clearly written on it.

3. Each piece of work should have a title page which includes your UB number, module title, a WORD COUNT and a statement of authenticity from you stating the work being submitted is your own:

I/We certify that this assignment is the result of my/our own work and does not exceed the word count noted below.

Number of words ______________

(excluding appendices/bibliographies, tables and diagrams)

We also would advise you to include your UB number and page numbers in the footer in any assignment submitted in case pages become loose. You are responsible for ensuring your UB number is on your work - we will not try to 'match up' any work without a UB number and students with missing work will be Failed.

4. Place the assignment in the appropriate programme slot (MA/MBA/MSC) of the coursework box (situated on the left hand side of the corridor leading to the Main Hall in the Emm Lane building) by the submission deadline (time and date). The box will be locked at the deadline time and any late assignments will not be accepted. Late assignments will be given an automatic FAIL grade and you will need to make an application for mitigation to have this reconsidered. Please note that you will not be permitted to look at or alter in any way your assessed coursework once it has been submitted.

5. In addition to a hard copy of your assignment, you will also need to submit an electronic version via email, which can be checked for plagiarism. A word version of the submitted assignment should be emailed (by the relevant deadline - time and date) to the appropriate email address, please include the filename in the subject heading of the email:

MBA students email: gpmba.mgt@bradford.ac.uk

MSc students email: gpma.mgt@bradford.ac.uk

Each filename should be in the following format:

UB NUMBER_MODULE_TITLE (for example: 0600001_PEOPLE IN ORGANISATIONS)

For group work the format should be: (GROUP NUMBER_MODULE_TITLE). One student from the group is to be designated to email the assignment.

d) How convincing is what the authors are saying?

e) In conclusion, what use can I make of this?

Source: Wallace, M and Wray Alison (2006) Critical Reading and Writing for Postgraduates. Sage Publications: London.

Critical Analysis Questions

1. What review question am I asking of this text?

(e.g., what is my research question? why select this text? does the Critical Analysis of this text fit into my investigation with a wider focus? what is my constructive purpose in undertaking a Critical Analysis of this text?)

2. What type of literature is this?

(e.g., theoretical, research, practice, policy? are there links with other types of literature?)

3. What sort of intellectual project for study is being undertaken?

a) How clear is it which project the authors are undertaking? (e.g., knowledge-for-understanding, knowledge-for-critical evaluation, knowledge-for-action, instrumentalism, reflexive action?)

b) How is the project reflected in the authors’ mode of working? (e.g., a social science or a practical orientation? choice of methodology and methods? an interest in understanding or in improving practice?)

c) What value stance is adopted towards the practice or policy investigated? (e.g., relatively impartial, critical, positive, unclear? what assumptions are made about the possibility of improvement? whose practice or policy is the focus of interest?)

d) How does the sort of project being undertaken affect the research questions addressed? (e.g., investigating what happens? what is wrong? how well does a particular policy or intervention work in practice?)

e) How does the sort of project being undertaken affect the place of theory? (e.g., is the investigation informed by theory? generating theory? atheoretical? developing social science theory or a practical theory?)

f) How does the authors’ target audience affect the reporting of research? (e.g., do they assume academic knowledge of methods? criticize policy? offer recommendations for action?)

4. What is being claimed?

a) What are the main kinds of knowledge claim that the authors are making? (e.g., theoretical knowledge, research knowledge, practice knowledge?)

b) What is the content of the main claims to knowledge and of the overall argument? (e.g., what, in a sentence, is being argued? what are the three to five most significant claims that encompass much of the detail? are there key prescriptions for improving policy or practice?)

c) How clear are the authors’ claims and overall argument? (e.g., stated in an abstract, introduction or conclusion? unclear?)

d) With what degree of certainty do the authors make their claims? (e.g., do they indicate tentativeness? qualify their claims by acknowledging limitations of their evidence? acknowledge others’ counter-evidence? acknowledge that the situation may have changed since data collection?)

e) How generalized are the authors’ claims – to what range of phenomena are they claimed to apply? (e.g., the specific context from which the claims were derived? other similar contexts? a national system? a culture? universal? implicit? unspecified?)

f) How consistent are the authors’ claims with each other? (e.g., do all claims fit together in supporting an argument? do any claims contradict each other?)

5. To what extent is there backing for claims?

a) How transparent is it what, if any, sources are used to back the claims? (e.g., is there any statement of the basis for assertions? are sources unspecified?)

b) What, if any, range of sources is used to back the claims? (e.g., first hand experience? the authors’ own practice knowledge or research? literature about others’ practice knowledge or research? literature about reviews of practice knowledge or research? literature about others’ polemic?)

c) If claims are at least partly based on the authors’ own research, how robust is the evidence? (e.g., is the range of sources adequate? are there methodological limitations or flaws in the methods employed? do they include cross-checking or ‘triangulation’ of accounts? what is the sample size and is it large enough to support the claims being made? is there an adequately detailed account of data collection and analysis? is a summary given of all data reported?)

d) Are sources of backing for claims consistent with degree of certainty and the degree of generalization? (e.g., is there sufficient evidence to support claims made with a high degree of certainty? is there sufficient evidence from other contexts to support claims entailing extensive generalization?)

6. How adequate is any theoretical orientation to back claims?

a) How explicit are the authors about any theoretical orientation or conceptual framework? (e.g., is there a conceptual framework guiding data collection? is a conceptual framework selected after data collection to guide analysis? is there a largely implicit theoretical orientation?)

b) What assumptions does any explicit or implicit theoretical orientation make that may affect the authors’ claims? (e.g., does a perspective focus attention on some aspects and under-emphasize others? if more than one perspective is used, how coherently do the different perspectives relate to each other?)

c) What are the key concepts underpinning any explicit or implicit theoretical orientation? (e.g., are they listed? are they stipulatively defined? are concepts mutually compatible? is use of concepts consistent? is the use of concepts congruent with others’ use of the same concepts?)

7. To what extent does any value stance adopted affect claims?

a) How explicit are the authors about any value stance connected with the phenomena? (e.g., a relatively impartial, critical, or positive stance? is this stance informed by a particular ideology? is it adopted before or after data collection?)

b) How may any explicit or implicit value stance adopted by the authors affect their claims? (e.g., have they pre-judged the phenomena discussed? are they biased? is it legitimate for the authors to adopt their particular value stance? have they over-emphasized some aspects of the phenomenon while under-emphasizing others?)

8. To what extent are claims supported or challenged by others’ work?

a) Do the authors relate their claims to others’ work? (e.g., do the authors refer to others’ published evidence, theoretical orientations or value stances to support their claims? do they acknowledge others’ counter-evidence?)

b) If the authors use evidence from others’ work to support their claims, how robust is it? (e.g., as for 5c)

c) Is there any evidence from others’ work that challenges the authors’ claims, and if so, how robust is it? (e.g., is there relevant research or practice literature? check any as for 5c)

9. To what extent are claims consistent with my experience?

10. What is my summary evaluation of the text in relation to my review question or issue?

a) How convincing are the authors’ claims, and why?

b) How, if at all, could the authors have provided stronger backing for their claims?

• Why do people choose one pest control company over another?

• Do customers know or care if a pest control company is a member of the institute?

• And what additional services would customers like to receive from their pest control company?

Marketing Decision got the contract because its bid was the lowest by a huge margin – just over half of what the next lowest bidder was going to charge. The primary method by which Marketing Decision was able to offer this very low cost, related to its proposed sampling approach. In its proposal, Marketing Decision stated that college students would be used to gather the survey data. The company said that it would randomly select 20 colleges from across the United States and contact the chair of the Marketing Department at each school. The chair would be asked to submit a list of 10 students who would be interested in earning some extra money, and then the field service director for Marketing Decision would contact the students individually. Marketing Decision’s goal was to identify 5 students at each school who would ultimately complete 10 interviews apiece. When the students were contacted by the field director, they were told that they would be given $20 for each completed interview. The only requirement as to who would be interviewed is that it be someone who had used a professional pest control company in the past year. In fact, the field director said probably the easiest thing to do would be to go to the student union or student center during the lunch hour and go from table to table asking people who might be interested in being interviewed.

Questions

1. How would you describe this sampling methodology?

2. What problems do you see with the data that would be generated using this approach?

3. Would this approach provide information that you would be comfortable basing decisions on? Why/why not?

4. Suggest an alternative sampling method that might give the Pest Control Institute a much better picture of the information desired.

|Tutorial 11: |

|Interpreting quantitative data |

| |

|Objective: to interpret quantitative analysis |

Tutorial Preparation : Complete the following exercise before the tutorial

Question 1

A large manufacturer of electronic components for automobiles recently conducted a study to determine the average value of electronic components per automobile. Personal interviews were conducted with a random sample of 400 respondents. The following information was secured with respect to each subject’s ‘main’ vehicle when (s)he had more than one.

|Average Value of Electronic Equipment |

|per Automobile |

|Value of Electronic Equipment |No. Automobiles |

|Less than £50 |35 |

|£51-£100 |40 |

|£101-£150 |55 |

|£151-£200 |65 |

|£201-£250 |65 |

|£251-£300 |75 |

|£301-£350 |40 |

|£351-£400 |20 |

|More than £401 |5 |

|Total number of automobiles |400 |

a) Add a column indicating the percentages at each level

b) Draw a histogram from the data

c) Calculate the mean*, locate the median and identify the mode values

* To calculate the mean and standard deviation use the mid-point of each band, and £425.5 for the top band.

Question 2

A large financial institution wanted to know which options were most important to small businesses. The financial instruction hypothesized that the options that businesses found to be important would vary as annual sales of the business varied. The financial organization set up a cross tabulation to investigate if any changes in importance were occurring between the groups of businesses. The following table lists the number of businesses that reported each of the options as most important. Interpret the findings.

| |Annual Sales |

|Option |Under £2 Million |£2 to £10 Million |

|Checking account |50 |30 |

|Mutual fund |10 |70 |

|Savings account |40 |50 |

Question 3

A social organization was interested in determining if there were various demographic characteristics that might be related to people’s propensity to contribute to charities. The organization was particularly interested in determining whether individuals above age 40 were more likely to contribute larger amounts than individuals below age 40. The average contribution in the population was £1,500 and this figure was used to divide individuals in the sample into two groups – those who contributed large amounts or more than average, versus those who contributed less than average. Table A presents a two way classification of the sample of individuals by contributions and age.

|Table A: Personal Contributions and Age |

| |Age |

|Personal contributions |39 or less |40 or more |Total |

|Less than or equal to £1,500 |79 |50 |129 |

|More than £1,500 |11 |60 |71 |

|Total |90 |110 |200 |

In addition, the social organization wanted to determine if contribution depended on income, age, or both. Table B presents the simultaneous treatment of age and income. The median income in the population was £38,200 and this figure was used to split the sample into two groups.

|Table B: Personal Contributions by Age and Income |

|Income |Less than or Equal |More than £38,200 |Total |

| |to £38,200 | | |

|Age |39 or |40 or |39 or |40 or |39 or |40 or |

| |less |more |less |more |less |more |

|Personal Contributions | | | | | | |

|Less than/ equal to £1,500 |63 |22 |16 |28 |79 |50 |

|More than £1,500 |7 |18 |4 |42 |11 |60 |

|Total |70 |40 |20 |70 |90 |110 |

a) Does the amount of personal contributions depend on age?

b) Does the amount of personal contributions depend on age alone?

c) Present the percentage contributions that are more than £1,500 by age and income in tabular form. Interpret the table.
