I do not want to have to dig for your answers. For instance, if an assignment asks you to provide three examples of something, I suggest that you number them 1-3 so I can find them easily. I also expect that when you submit something as a narrative, you pay attention to how you organize your thoughts: use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences; and change paragraphs whenever you introduce a new idea. Also, if there are multiple parts to an assignment, use sub-heads within the paper to organize them. To get maximum points you need to follow the requirements listed for this assignments 1) look at the word/page limits 2) review and follow APA rules 3) create subheadings to identify the key sections you are presenting and 4) Free from typographical and sentence construction errors.

After reading Chapter 6 and looking at peer review journals please discuss the Qualitative techniques:
What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative methods?
What are the qualitative techniques our textbook introduced?

What are their strengths and weaknesses ?
Any examples you can share with us?
HI, for feedbacks 1. The difference between quantitative and qualitative approach is that the qualitative tends to focus on understanding a phenomenon from a closer perspective dealing with a larger number of people using survey methods (Rhodes, 2018). Some limitations concerning the quantitative approach would be difficulty in recognizing new and untouched phenomena and interpretation without on control group (Rhodes, 2018). Strengths with reference to this approach would be that it allows generalizing to a broader population, provides informative policy or guidelines and supplies numerical information (Rhodes, 2018).   Qualitative dives deeper in regards to conducting interviews, asking open-ended questions and involves a smaller group of people (Rhodes, 2018). The qualitative approach has limitations such as not having the ability to generalize to the general population, challenges in applying statistical methods (Rhodes, 2018). On the flip side, some of the pros regarding this approach would be that can provide a broader understanding of mechanisms and can disclose information that probably would have not been recognized through pre-determined survey questions (Rhodes, 2018).  At my current employer, HR utilizes the qualitative approach when conducting performance reviews. During this process, employees are assessed on subjective criteria’s such as communication, behavioral and leadership (n.d.). This information provides management with the details needed to help discover is the employee is an asset to the organization (n.d.).  References  Rhodes, J. (2018, August 31). Jean Rhodes.

Trakstar. (n.d.). Retrieved November 8, 2021, from https://www.trakstar.com/blog-post/benefits-qualitative-employee-performance-reviews/       2.   What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative methods?  Qualitative methods use interpretive techniques where quantitative methods are dependant on the statistical study (Schindler, 2021, p. 81). Qualitative techniques can include a wide range of interpretations from descriptions, decoding, or translations. The main reason for a qualitative method is to hear the person’s reasoning behind the interest of the research (Sambunjak, et.al, 2010). Quantitative methods let a manager know how often or many times that something happens, therefore there would be a deeper understanding of why people think the way they do (Schindler, 2021, p. 128).  What are the qualitative techniques our textbook introduced?  The qualitative techniques that are in our textbook are individual depth interviews and group interviews, and observation techniques. Observation techniques are case studies, ethnography, grounded theory, and action research (Schindler, 2021, p. 128)  What are their strengths and weaknesses?  With so many options of data collection techniques, they all have their strength and weaknesses. For example, a focus group can have the strength of having a large amount of data to work with, however, this large amount of data can be a weakness. With a large amount of data, the people that are used in the focus group can become intimidated if their answer is not the one that was chosen therefore they may change their answer due to the feeling of being pressured (“Table 3 summary of strengths and limitations of data collection method,” 2020).  References:  Sambunjak, D., Straus, S.

0000Week One Discussion 3
This discussion question is based on pp. 61-132 of The Essential Theater, 10th ed., by Oscar G. Brockett and Robert J. Ball. (Please see syllabus for complete bibliographic information).
Answer the following question in your response. Each student should then respond to two of your fellow classmates’ posts.

As a playwright, would you prefer to be writing plays during the era of Ancient Greek Festival Theater or during the Renaissance for professional theater in England?  Why?  What are the advantages and disadvantages for a playwright in each type of theater according to your text book?

Choose a practice and application of that practice from the CAM movement described in your textbook. For example: The practice of yoga as applied to reducing anxiety and stress
Next, find one quality research/scholarly reports from within the last 3-years that either supports or refutes what your textbook says about the CAM practice and application you chose. (You may wish to use the link to the TWU Health Studies Subject Guide)
Citing specific references from your text, the supplementary videos, as well as, the resources from the additional articles and websites I provided in addition to just the textbook, describe why the materials you found/chose to use are quality materials, and come from valid and reliable sources. 
Described what you learned about the CAM practice in regards to the application you chose to focus on. Did you find what you expected to find? Why or why not?
Did the information presented in your text about the CAM practice and application you chose prove to be still relevant, reliable, and accurate? Why or why not? Were there changes or updates?
What are the two most important skills health educators need to teach consumers in order for consumers to be more discerning about choosing CAM-related health products and services? Be sure to support your belief and opinion with evidence.
Peer response
The practice and application I chose was how massage therapy relaxes and relieves muscle pains, strengthens the immune system, aids the respiratory system.  The study I used was “the case of therapeutic massage as an adjuvant in the hospitalized COVID-19 patients” from the National Institutes of Health, which supports the CAM from the textbook.  The study was about how massage therapy served as a complementary use of CAM with conventional medication.  It helped lower the cortisol levels in patients which is the stress hormone that increases inflammation in the muscles and in turn causes a flight or fight response in the body. Massage therapy helped relax the respiratory muscles, allowing the inflammation to decrease and help the patient slow down the production of cortisol.  The body response to COVID-19 is the inflammation of the respiratory muscles which causes little oxygen to circulate through the body which causes a multi-organ failure, and the body begins to shut down. Massage therapy is just an aid to help reduce inflammation, but conventional medication must also be used to aid in the fight against COVID-19. I have only seen a massage therapist twice in my lifetime due to the cost of the sessions not because it is not something I do not enjoy.  The first time was a gift to massage envy for muscle pains and the second time I was on vacation for relaxation but also because I had injured my leg.  The sessions improve not just voluntary muscles but also involuntary muscles like respiration and digestion muscles.  We produce cortisol when we are stressed, and which inflames our muscles and causes those aches and pains but also can cause hypertension and damage our blood vessels.  I noticed a decrease in my sinus cavity that I did not have to use my Flonase for this summer season when the grass is green, and trees are leafing.  Yes, I found what I expected to find in the textbook and in the articles, I read in the module. CAMs are used as a complementary additive with conventional medications, it is not safe to use CAMS as an alternative and eliminate conventional medication.  The other point I thought was important is that we need to always report our CAM usage to our providers because of side effects and interaction with prescribing medication.  Just because it is natural does not make it safe to use.  The other point is making sure CAM is proven safe and effective before trying it. The two most important skills health consumers need to keep in mind is research, do not assume because it’s not a prescription that it is okay to take or use.  Second, communicate and network with other individuals that are using the CAM and do your own research and judgment before assuming it is okay to use, and consult a physician.  In this case, massage therapy is not as crucial but taking supplements can be and interfere with cancer treatments or interact with medications. You can be taking a calcium supplement for bone strength, and it causes tetani and hardens your involuntary muscles, and causes a heart attack.  ,

I’m working on a management multi-part question and need an explanation to help me understand better.
Apply project management methods to achieve a process change.
Achieve goals through planning and prioritization.
Kogon, Blakemore, and Wood (2015) note that for many workers in the current business environment, an increasing amount of time is spent working on or leading projects. This assignment is intended to help you understand the primary elements of the project management process, how you can choose a project management methodology that will be the best fit for your project, and the skills you will need to be a successful project leader. In your readings and videos for this unit, as well as personal experience for many of you, you have discovered that there are many variables to successfully managing a project. The project management methodology chosen for a project must reflect the organization’s requirements to ensure success. Included in these variables are the size and complexity of the project, the process used to manage a project, and the skills that are needed to successfully complete the project.
For this 4- to 6-page APA-compliant paper (not including title and reference pages) respond to the following:
Section 1 – Project Management Overview

Using your unit readings and videos, and at least two additional sources, which can be from non-scholarly sources, describe the factors that may be used to select a project management methodology.
Identify at least three project management methodologies that you are most interested in learning more about. These can be from your research or personal experience. Provide an overview of these methodologies, and include but do not limit to:

Primary use for this methodology
Types of projects this methodology is best suited to
Technology support provided
Cost
Formal project management expertise required, or skills needed

Present an analysis of similarities and differences in these three project management methodologies. As a project leader, completing this type of assessment will help you understand which method you may want to select the next time you lead a project.

Section 2 – Personal Project Selection and Analysis

Identify any recent projects you have worked on over the past year, they could be of any size and in any context. They can be from work-related or personal experience.
For this section, you will need to select two types of projects, one that was successful and one that was unsuccessful. You may want to select projects from different areas of your experience (i.e., one work-related, another from personal experience). Using different types of projects can help you understand the applications of the work you have completed in Section 1.
Personal Analysis – Successful Project

Describe the project including the size, scope, personal/professional, your role, project charter (if any), timeframes for project duration, other information seen as relevant to describing the project.
Identify the project management elements and/or methodology you used to manage this project. The research you completed in Section 1 will be helpful to you.
List the skills you demonstrated to help the project be successful. List the skills that you could have used to increase the project’s success.
After this review, complete an analysis of where you may have been more successful.

Personal Analysis – Unsuccessful Project

Describe the project including the size, scope, personal/professional, your role, project charter (if any), timeframes for project duration, and other information seen as relevant to describing the project.
Identify the project management elements and/or methodology you used to manage this project(s). The research you completed in Section 1 will be helpful to you.
Analyze the project for areas of weakness using the research you completed in Section 1 and personal reflection.
Identify what skills were needed to overcome the weak areas using the research you completed in Section 1 and personal reflection.
Present at least two recommendations for improvement, supported by your research in Section 1, and personal experiences. Include the strengths identified from the project that was managed successfully.
