Which customer demographic is most strongly related to product purchase/non-purchase?

Visit Qualtrics at www.qualtrics.com.

We help many of our clients at Qualtrics with their marketing research projects. We do much more than help with the design of their questionnaires. In working closely with our clients, we often see that they are interested in knowing answers to such questions as: “Which package design is most effective in increasing awareness of our product on supermarket shelves?” “What type of pre-store opening promotion is most effective in producing sales during Grand Openings?” “Which customer demographic is most strongly related to product purchase/non-purchase?” “Which type of sales training method results in the least sales force turnover?” These are just a few of the questions our clients have in which they are really asking to understand the association between two variables. Which “type of pre-store promotion” is associated with “sales”? “Which package design is associated with the level of awareness?” In these examples, we have two variables and we wish to know if they are associated.

Marketing research projects can be conducted that will answer these questions. When marketing researchers collect the data needed to answer the questions, they want to know if the pattern of association revealed in the data, if any, is statistically significant. That is, does the pattern revealed in the sample data exist in the population? Fortunately, statisticians have given us some tools to answer this question. You will learn about these tools in this chapter.

Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christen Counseling by Mark R. McMinn, PH.D

Original work needs to be 5 pgs 1200 word review of "Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christen Counseling by Mark R. McMinn, PH.D. instructions attached

4-Mat Review Instructions
The 4-MAT Review is a way of responding to readings, lectures, and life experiences that requires you, the learner, to interact with new ideas on several levels. You will write one 4-Mat Review for the Entwistle text and one for the McMinn text. In preparing your 4-Mat Reviews, use each of the 4 sections listed below with corresponding APA-style, Level 1 headers:
Summary: After listing the name of the book and author, summarize the book concisely in 500 “tight” words (no more than 2 pages). Prove that you comprehend the reading by writing a no-nonsense summary. The summary is not a commentary or listing of topics, but rather a heartfelt, condensed, insightful synopsis of the longer, more elaborate book. Cite the book in text at least once per paragraph, and include page numbers for direct quotations.
Concrete Responses: Be vulnerable! In at least 250 words (no more than one page), write about a personal life episode that this book triggered in your memory. Relate your story in first person, describing action and quoting exact words you remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this is your own parable, case study, and confession. You will remember almost nothing you have read unless you make this critical, personal connection. When reading the book, what video memory began to play in your mind? This is your chance to tell your story and generate new ideas.
Reflection: What new questions arise for you in response to what you have read? Take notes as you read. Outsmart the author by asking better questions than he did. Begin with questions like, “What troubles me about this book?” Discuss the positives and negatives about the book. Limit this section to 250 words (no more than one page).
Action: What are you going to do about it? Develop action steps based on core points of the book. This section must be a description of how main ideas will affect your counseling. What professional changes will you implement and share with others? Be precise in summarizing your action steps. Present these comments in at least 200 words (no more than one page).
Create and submit these assignments in Microsoft Word documents. Provide an APA-style title page including your name, the paper title (referring to the book title), and the institutional affiliation (Liberty University). Keep in mind that current APA recommends the title length not to exceed 12 words. Also, use a running head in the appropriate place and a page number on every page. You are also required to create a References page on which you provide the complete reference citation for book in compliance with current APA standards.
Please note: Your grades on the 4-MAT Reviews depend on the manner in which you address each of these 4 dimensions in response to your readings. Each review must be double-spaced and adhere to the lengths as noted above (not including the title page and References page). Use quotes strategically and sparingly, per current APA; in a paper this size, do not use longer (block) quotes.
Submit both 4-Mat Reviews through the assignment submission links in Modules/Weeks 3 and 7.

The 4-MAT Review on the Entwistle text is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 3.
The 4-Mat Review on the McMinn text is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of  Module/Week 7.

What sort of charity would you give to - people, animals, environment, medical, etc?

For the second project, we have read about "The Golden Rule" (Wattles) and poverty (Singer). Let's create a scenario in which you have $10,000 and must donate it to the charity of your choice. What sort of charity would you give to - people, animals, environment, medical, etc? Since this is a formal research paper, choose one kind of charity and research several charities that fall into that category. Look at each charity's webpage (primary research) as well as looking for articles about that charity and news reports on it (secondary research). As a class, we will set up the objective criteria to consider when choosing a charity, but you will also want to specify your own subjective considerations. 

In a 5-7 page, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point research paper, present your findings and why you chose the specific charity you did for your donation. You will need to have discussion in the paper about each of the charities you researched so that your reader can understand why you came to the conclusion you did. It might help you in the early stages of your research to set up a chart to be able to "measure" each charity against the others. In MLA style, document your findings and points you wish to make with quotes and paraphrases from the sources you researched. Your goal is to demonstrate that you have carefully considered the choices, objective criteria, and to convince your reader that you have chosen the best charity to receive the $10,000 you have to give.

Outside of the 5-7 pages, create a Works Cited page in MLA style. 

We will have workshops to assist your progress in creating a formally researched, MLA style essay. We will also have conferences with the professor to address your concerns with the essay before you complete it to hand in.

Dewey states that it is neither new versus old education nor progressive versus traditional, but a question of what is worthy to be called the name education.

Peer one: Paige

Top of Form

Dewey states that it is neither new versus old education nor progressive versus traditional, but a question of what is worthy to be called the name education.  We want education pure and simple and need to find out what conditions need to be satisfied in order for education to be a reality.  Societal needs and job opportunities are ever changing which affect the experiences and direction that education follows.  As educators we need to be aware that although we want to provide experiences, we must start with the basics to build upon.    We want education to have purpose and for students to take ownership and control of their learning.     As educators we need to provide opportunities that show students the importance of their education and motivate them to take it to the next level.   When students are challenged at higher levels, as educators we need to also hold ourselves accountable to provide the optimum learning and this may be through transition from old methods of teaching to ones that require additional time and training.   Education is always changing with the demands around us and we must be willing to put forth the effort to make a difference.

Peer 2: Alba

Dewey confirms that in principle the basis of experience and education to achieve their goals, both for the individual learner or community. Experience is the experience of real life and which acquired learner attitudes in his life. Also, he wrote for improve education must go back to the intellectual and moral standards in the past.

In addition , Continue to use the method for the development of overt growth potential and benefit from the experience. Dewey looked some of the conditions for the success of the second option, which is that fact or the environment is determined by the success or failure of the theory . Teachers  must also give it enough time to succeed and must be patient and take advantage of experiments to improve the theory and not rush judgment on the theory failed.

Peer 3: Bryan

Top of Form

The best quote in my mind from Dewey throughout the entire book was from this last reading. Dewey said "...the fundamental issue is not of new versus old education or of progressive against traditional education but a question of what anything whatever must be to be worthy of the name education". I think this is very important. Dewey is stating, and I agree, that whatever is being taught and however it is being taught needs to be with the purpose and ends of students learning. I think that through my short educational experience, I have seen both schools of educational thought being applied and have seen benefits of both. However, I see with the students in today's schools being more inclined to learn if they are actively participating, and if teachers use lessons that provide growth and learning through experience. I am sure educators from both sides can provide evidence that their style is working, and students in their class are learning. Again, that is the most important issue here. As long as the teacher is growing as an educator, the students are learning, and the school is providing a safe environment, public schools have a future. I believe that like us, many others to come will debate which educational direction schools should adopt, and the debate will continue. I have learned a lot from this book, and have had many second thoughts on aspects of education as I know it. 

On a side note, I would like to mention one more thing from this past reading. Dewey mentions the possibility of future failings with progressive education due to the educator's commitment to it. I think he has a valid point. What if schools or educators adopt progressive education as their direction to teach, and give up when challenges arrive? What if they toss aside their original beliefs as to why they chose to apply progressive education, and revert to past practices that may not have been working? I think that if we are to see true progressive education being applied throughout schools, it may take a few years to obtain the evidence that either shows the progress or does not. I am interested to see this debate further exercised, and will continue to learn more about the positive/negative aspects.
