Descartes’ Discourse on the Method
Choose one (1) of the three (3) reading selections from the list of topic choices below.
The focus is on brief but important primary source material written by major authors. Read the selections as identified with each topic below. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words minimum) which analyzes the “surprise ending” of the reading selection.
Topic Choices
Reading selection from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV). Descartes begins with a proof of one basic conclusion and ends with a proof of something much grander. Remember to focus on the surprise and point of realization, not the details of the philosophical argument. Read Part IV of the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/authors/descartes.html. This is only four or five (4 or 5) pages of the larger work.
Reading selection of Swift’s, A Modest Proposal. It is essential to recognize the genre of this work, as discussed in our class text, which you should consult and cite. Swift promotes a radical solution, but subtle options are mentioned. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. Read and focus on A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/modest.html.
Two (2) reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. Consider how these readings start and end in terms of the action and the beliefs. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. These selections can be found on pp. 840-841 in the textbook. In addition, consult the class text at pp. 824-825.
For the reading selection you choose:
Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading when you realized that there were elements in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end.
Evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was different from what you expected.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. (Note: Students can find APA style materials located in the Additional Resources section of their Student Center within their course shell for reference)
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
Use the source(s) identified above for the topic you choose, focusing on the main primary source of that author. You may use additional sources also if they are of good academic quality for college papers (Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify). Use proper APA style in-text citing and also a matching APA style References list at the end.

Sampling Strategy Sampling Strategy
In this week’s Discussion and Application assignments, you will continue to work on your Final Project. In this Discussion, you will describe your sampling strategy for your chosen research proposal.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 8 in the Frankfort-Nachmias and Nachmias book and the statistical power discussion on the Research Methods Knowledge Base website in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider the quantitative research plan you are developing for your Final Project and your research questions, hypotheses, variables, and analysis. What kind of power would be necessary for your research problem to be able to tell you what you would like to learn? What kind of sampling strategy would you recommend for your plan? What is your rationale for this choice?
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 3- to 5-paragraph description in which you describe inputs to compute sample size for your chosen research problem.

Course Reflection
Throughout this course, you have become familiar with a variety of concepts in statistical reasoning and analysis. You have explored the importance of statistical thinking in research and used your knowledge to compose your own quantitative research proposal. This Reflection Activity will give you an opportunity for self-assessment as you analyze your progress in the course.
To prepare for this Reflection:
Assess your progress and skills with quantitative reasoning and analysis. Where do you still need to improve, and what is your plan for improving these skills?
Consider what role this course has played in helping you determine an approach to your dissertation topic. Has your original topic and approach changed? Why? How?
To what extent has using a statistical package informed your understanding of research in general? Of how to read the findings of a research article?
Think about how this course fits into your residency Milestones. Are you on track? Have you registered for your next residency?
Think about any lingering questions that you have.
H.G. Wells once said that “Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write.” Do you agree with Wells’s statement? React to the statement in a paragraph or two to close your composition.
The assignment:
Compose a 2- to 3-page paper in which you assess your progress with quantitative reasoning and analysis. Be sure to include examples and information addressing the questions above. You may also address any lingering questions you have.
