Examining factors that impact online survey response rates in educational research is crucial for ensuring high-quality, representative data. Several factors influence the likelihood of participants completing online surveys, and understanding these can help researchers design more effective surveys. Below are some key factors:
1. Survey Design and Length
Length: Longer surveys tend to have lower response rates, as participants may lose interest or feel overwhelmed. Shorter, more concise surveys typically result in higher completion rates.
Clarity: Clear, straightforward questions are more likely to be answered. Ambiguous or overly technical questions may confuse respondents and lead to drop-offs.
Question Type: The use of closed-ended questions (e.g., multiple-choice) can make surveys faster to complete, while open-ended questions may deter respondents due to the required time and effort.
2. Survey Personalization
Relevance to Respondents: Surveys that are perceived as relevant to participants’ personal or professional experiences are more likely to be completed………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..RCH 3301-23.01.00-2B25-S1, Research Methods
Personalization: Personalized surveys (e.g., addressing participants by name, referencing their role in education) can increase engagement by making participants feel more valued.

It is important for a project manager to know and track every deliverable as well as the critical success factors (CSFs). Always remember to plan, plan, and plan again. Making sure that you have identified and listed every deliverable as well as defining the CSFs is time well spent. The time you spend thinking and discussing can be classified as scientific or technological exploration or investigation. Each deliverable must be known and is discussed in the scope document. These are critical to identify to move forward with the project plan and ensure a successful project. If a deliverable is overlooked and left out, the project will be considered a failure. The deliverables are related to the work of the project. It is through the project activities that the deliverables are completed or developed. A deliverable could be something that was completed (if it was a service performed) or developed (if it was a new software package). No matter what the deliverable is, there is work associated with the development. For you to proceed with your work-breakdown structures and completion milestones, you must know what needs to be done. Review and re-review to glean every deliverable. This is why it is so important to reflect on all of the deliverables at this point in the management of your project. The CSFs are those characteristics or attributes that are essential for your project to succeed. According to Sipes, “There are the few key areas where things ‘must go right’ for the business to flourish” (p. 112). Examples of how to complete the forms can be found in the course textbook, Project Management for the Advanced Practice Nurse, on p. 112 (Tables 4.7 and 4.8). Review your project documents and analyze your data to determine your CSFs. Be sure to include metrics. If metrics are not included, you will not be able to measure or evaluate your project in Phase 5. What is the scope of your project, and how will you collect the required data? Work with your mentor to complete the deliverables and CSF documents. It is always better to have more input rather than less. Discuss and seek consensus with your mentor on the deliverables and CSFs for your project. To assist you, there is a document you will use to develop this part of the project planning process. Complete the deliverables and CSF document. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations must be consistent with formal academic writing and APA format as expressed in the current edition of the APA manual. Assignment Instructions All project deliverables must be identified and listed on the Deliverables and CSF document. All CSFs must be identified and listed on the Deliverables and CSF document. Metrics must be included. Ideas and information from professional sources must be cited correctly using the current edition of the APA manual. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations must be consistent with formal academic writing.
Minimum of 5 scholarly sources (in addition to the textbook)
Instructions
First, return to your topic chosen in the week three assignment.
Answer this question: What are the personal and/or communal ethical factors that may be involved in determining the moral position of either side in that debate?
Next, articulate and then evaluate the ethical positions using Kantian ethics (that is, the categorical imperative) relative to the long standing debate (that is your topic chosen in the week three assignment).
Finally, create a complete annotated bibliography for 5 academic scholarly sources. You will annotate each source. The sources should be relevant to your topic chosen in the week three assignment.
consist of the following:
Publication information
• Annotation, which is a thorough reading of the source
The following should be included in each annotation section:
• Summarize the most important ideas and terminology (using quote marks and parenthetical page references).
• Describe any debates or “problems” that the articles have brought up.
• Specify whether you agree or disagree, and explain why.
• Track down one or two quotes for the last study project.
• Consider how this article has shaped your understanding and how it is significant.
Use this example as a guide:
Reference: APAJ. Mezirow (2003). Learning that transforms as a conversation. 1(1), 58–63. Journal of Transformative Education.
Example of an annotationMezirow (2003) draws a contrast between “communicative” and “instrumental” learning in this article. The term “instrumental learning” refers to procedures used to evaluate and assess learning, including exams, grades, remarks, quizzes, attendance logs, and the like. On the other hand, “communicative learning” describes the knowledge that develops through time between people in what Mezirow refers to as “critical-dialectical-discourse” (p. 59), which is a fancy way of expressing a significant dialogue between two or more speakers. Mezirow also touches on the concept of “transformative learning,” which alters people’s minds, hearts, values, and beliefs to enable them to behave better in society (p. 61). According to Mezirow, “hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse” (p. 59). On the one hand, he is correct in that some individuals are barred from participating completely because their crisis is so severe and prolonged. But I don’t believe Mezirow should assume that everyone who finds themselves in a difficult situation is unable to contribute effectively to the conversation. The non-instrumental forms of intelligence, such as goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, and other non-measured forms of intelligence, would receive just as much attention in our school curricula, and the students who graduate from high school would be better actors in the world and enthusiastic researchers.
Requirements
Without the title page or references page, the document should be between four and seven pages long, with one-inch margins, double spacing, and a 12-point Times New Roman font.
THIS IS THE TOPIC CHOSEN WITH SOURCES FOR WEEK 3
Ethics of Euthanasia Debate
Moral debate and ethical debate surround the purposeful taking of a terminally ill or suffering person’s life to stop their agony and suffering. There are two main points of view in the ethical debate surrounding euthanasia: those who support it (pro-euthanasia) and those who oppose it (anti-euthanasia).
i. Euthanasia-supporting Opinion
There are two main moral justifications for euthanasia. First, proponents argue that euthanasia is an act of love and compassion for individuals who are in extreme pain and suffering as a result of terminal illnesses (Njoku, 2022). This viewpoint sees euthanasia as a compassionate alternative to prolonging their suffering through intrusive medical procedures. Advocates argue that allowing individuals to pass away with dignity reduces their suffering and offers solace in the final hours.
Second, the pro-euthanasia perspective places a high emphasis on the importance of personal autonomy and the right to make decisions. Supporters contend that capable terminally ill individuals should have the freedom to choose the time and manner of their deaths. According to this point of view, as personal autonomy is a crucial aspect of human dignity, it should be protected in the face of terminal illnesses. Euthanasia supporters say that giving individuals the option to use it offers them control over their lives and deaths, especially at their most vulnerable moments.
ii. Opposition to assisted suicide
Euthanasia is morally wrong for two main reasons. First and foremost, opponents fervently uphold the notion of the sanctity of life, arguing that each and every human life has intrinsic value and should never be willfully terminated. According to this point of view, allowing euthanasia would devalue life by lowering the intrinsic worth and dignity of human existence. The “slippery slope” defense is the second defense put out by euthanasia opponents. They express worry that legalizing euthanasia will encourage misuse and the incorrect use of procedures (Buturovic, 2021). This might manifest as coerced euthanasia or undue pressure on helpless individuals to choose death over life. Once the practice is permitted, they fear that it may inspire less restrictive attitudes and practices over time, putting the welfare of those who most desperately need care and protection in peril.
How Social Contract Ethics and Ethical Egoism View the Euthanasia Issue
i. The Ethical Egoist’s Point of View
People should act in their own best interests to advance their own enjoyment and well-being, according to the ethical egoism moral theory (Rachels & Rachels, 2012). Ethical egoists would likely adopt this viewpoint if they believed that permitting euthanasia would enhance their own or their loved ones’ well-being. They might use the argument that euthanasia would be their choice to eliminate unnecessary suffering in the same situation to support their position. However, under this circumstance, loyalty to oneself and society could clash. The demands of the individual are prioritized over those of society at large or those who value the sanctity of life under ethical egoism (Manuel & Herron, 2020). The best course of action from the perspective of an ethical egoist would be to embrace euthanasia if it is in their best interests.
Ethicist of the Social Contract Perspective
According to the central tenet of social contract ethics, moral norms derive from an unspoken social arrangement or agreement that society’s members accept for the good of everyone (Korn et al., 2020). A Social Contract Ethicist would be skeptical of the practice since it has murky moral implications and societal repercussions. They may oppose euthanasia because they believe it might undermine the social contract’s credibility and durability. Some individuals might be concerned that making intentional killing lawful will weaken society’s desire to protect and preserve life. However, since the social contract allows for liberty and personal choice, some social contract ethicists may support euthanasia if done so in accordance with strict regulations and safeguards. There is a contradiction between personal and national obligations when a person’s desire for euthanasia conflicts with more broad cultural norms and legal responsibilities. The best course of action, according to social contract ethicists, would be to carefully assess the repercussions of euthanasia on society and try to strike a compromise between supporting individual freedom and maintaining the social contract.
Professional Ethics Code
In the medical community, euthanasia is a contentious issue, and professional codes of ethics regularly touch on it. For instance, the AMA’s Code of Medical Ethics instructs physicians to address and make judgments on end-of-life situations. The AMA Code specifically outlaws euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide while acknowledging that eligible patients have the right to refuse life-sustaining therapy. The moral principle of preserving life while supporting the patient’s autonomy in making decisions is highly valued by the code.
There may be a conflict between a healthcare practitioner’s professional and familial commitments if they are asked to carry out euthanasia on behalf of terminally ill patients or their families. Maintaining the professional code of ethics while balancing the desire to relieve pain and respect for patient autonomy may be difficult. When this occurs, healthcare professionals might need to engage in candid dialogue with patients and their families while also providing alternative palliative care and support.
Conclusion
Numerous moral concerns and ethical perspectives are raised by euthanasia. While social contract ethics may place more of a focus on the more salient societal repercussions, ethical egoism may highlight the individual liberty and well-being of the individual. Given the conflict between personal preferences and society standards, choosing the best course of action requires careful thought and respect for several points of view. Healthcare professionals must also address complex ethical dilemmas while maintaining the required professional standards of ethics and ensuring patient-centered care.

For your course project you are tasked with designing and carrying out a research project on plant transpiration of your own design using the Vernier instruments (see Transpiration Lab Student Guide for directions). Transpiration is the process by which moisture moves through a plant. The process is broken down and explained in chapter 30, section 30.5 of the text book. The purpose of this assignment is to help you plan and design an experiment investigating the factors that impact plant transpiration. After this assignment is complete you will be able to conduct your experiment, collect data and prepare for the experiment analysis. During week 14 you will submit an experiment report using information from your design plan and experiment results. Please note that experiments that do not use the Vernier sensors will receive a grade of 0 so make sure you have your sensors ordered and available by week 14 when you must turn in your experiment report.
The Experimental Design Plan assignment is Due Week 6. Submit the attached experiment design sheet with answers as an attachment.
*Note: additional instructions for determining leaf surface area by hand have been added to the documents for this week’s assignment.
Instructions:
Look through the directions in the transpiration lab student guides. Before performing an experiment or lab, you must design and plan what is going to be tested and how you are going to test it. You must be organized and be able to communicate your results effectively. This assignment is designed to help you organize your experiment design. Use what you have learned about the scientific method from your lab assignments to help you design an experiment on plant transpiration. You will need to conduct some background research on plant transpiration to help you design your experiment. The research will be used to help you write the introduction portion of your experiment paper.
An experiment is a research method in which you manipulate a variable or variables under very controlled conditions and examines whether any changes occur in response to the manipulation of the variable.
It is a cause and effect relationship
1. Experiment introduction & background research with references in APA format (50 pts)
Before you can design an experiment you need to have a good understanding of the current research. You need to summarize what research is currently known about your experiment question in the introduction of your report. This part of the assignment allows you to get a jump start on that task while building valuable knowledge that will help you in your experiment design.
1) Visit the APUS library and internet to research information on plant transpiration. The program guide for natural sciences is a good starting place to begin your APUS library research: Natural Science
2) Look through these examples of how to share background research in an introduction: Example of Introduction section
Collect background information for your research experiment and use references and in text citations to back up you research. Explain any ideas or techniques that are necessary for someone to understand your experiment. At the minimum you should cover what transpiration is, what role/influence your independent variable has on enzymes, why this is important, your testable question and hypothesis. The introduction is generally 1 page long. You need to use APA formatted in text citations and references and this should be written in the 3rd person. You need to use at least 4 different academic references for your background research.
The grading in this section of the assignment is broken down as follows:
Coverage of topic including scientific question and hypothesis: 30 points
4 academic references and APA reference and citation technique: 15 points
Grammar/spelling/voice:5 points

2. Identify the Independent Variable, Dependent Variable and Constants (10pts)
Independent Variable is the variable that is manipulated. It is the variable that you change on purpose. (The CAUSE) There are many variables that can change transpiration. You will choose only 1 independent variable to test. You can choose from temperature, light, humidity, plant species, or air flow.
Dependent Variable is the variable that we measure in response to the manipulation of the independent variable. It is a measurable change. State what are we measuring to gauge transpiration in our experiment here(The EFFECT)
Constants are all the other variables in the experiment that must remain the same so we can see what effect the independent variable has on the dependent variable.
The Control is used as a standard of comparison. The control is a level of the independent variable that has been changed the least or not at all.
3. Write a Title (5pts)
Use the following pattern when writing a title…
The Effect of the (Independent Variable) on the (Dependent Variable)
4. Write a Testable Question (5pts)
Not all questions are testable!!
A testable question asks. . .
“What is the effect of the Independent Variable on the Dependent Variable?”
5. Write a Hypothesis (5pts)
A hypothesis is a prediction of the outcome of the lab. Your prediction is based on your understanding of the scientific concept.
It answers your testable question. Use the following pattern:
IF the (IV- how it is changing), then the DV- how you think it will change), BECAUSE (why do you think this is happening.
Example- If the IV increases, then the DV will decrease because….
6. Write your Procedures (20pts)
Procedures are a list of materials used in the experiment and the steps in performing the experimental part. Procedures are the recipe you follow in order to perform the experiment. Write these in order, in paragraph form, and using your own words. Do not simply copy and paste from the student lab guide.
7. Create your Data Table (5pts)
Data is recorded during the procedures. You need to create your data collection table for your experiment. Below is an example Data collection table. Create your own collection table using labels with the names of your variables and the correct units you are measuring. Do not collect data yet! You are just setting up the table so you are ready to collect data when it is time to run your experiment. Wait until you get feedback from this assignment to begin any data collection.
*Repeated Trials——Why repeat the experiment more than once?
Mistakes happen no matter how careful you are so if you repeat the experiment you will get more reliable data. The more repeated trials the more likely you will reduce the effect of chance errors and the more reliable your data becomes and the more confidence you can place in your data. Generally a minimum of 3 trials is acceptable for experiments with more being better.
This is a great video that walks you through the setup steps involved in conducting the experiment:

Sky View Aerial Photography offers a wide range of aerial photographic, video, and infrared imaging services. The company has grown from its early days of snapping pictures of client houses to its current status as a full-service aerial image specialist. Sky View now maintains numerous contracts with various governmental agencies for aerial mapping and surveying work. Sky View has its offices at the airport where its fleet of especially equipped aircraft are hangered. Sky View contracts with several freelance pilots and photographers for some of its aerial work and also employs several full-time pilots and photographers. The owners of Sky View Aerial Photography recently contracted with a systems development consulting firm to develop a new information system for the business. As the number of contracts, aircraft flights, pilots, and photographers increased, the company experienced difficulty keeping accurate records of its business activity and the utilization of its fleet of aircraft. The new system will require all pilots and photographers to swipe an ID badge through a reader at the beginning and conclusion of each photo flight, along with recording information about the aircraft used and the client served on that flight. These records would be reconciled against the actual aircraft utilization logs maintained and recorded by the hangar personnel. The office staff was eagerly awaiting the installation of the new system. Their general attitude was that the system would reduce the number of problems and errors that they encountered and would make their work easier. The pilots, photographers, and hangar staff were less enthusiastic, being unaccustomed to having their activities monitored in this way.
a) Discuss the factors that may inhibit the acceptance of this new system by the pilots, photographers, and hangar staff.
b) Discuss how an informational strategy could be used to motivate adoption of the new system at Sky View Aerial Photography.
c) Discuss how a political strategy could be used to motivate adoption of the new system at Sky View Aerial Photography.
