Virtual School:Certain Factors that Relate to Student Persistence in the Online Health and Physical Education Course

Highlited in yellow is where references should be located. This is a subsection of Chapter 5 implications document is the document that needs to be corrected and written.
All other documents are to help guide you, my chapter 4, the survey results, and archival information from OCVS.

References should be within the last 5-8 years. Directions and comments from my chair: What needs to be added are references to other research that are relative to your findings.So you are going to need to go back to the library and find some additional studies that may (or may not) have findings similar to yours. When you do this, just don’t look for exactly the same thing you found, you are looking at the variables/concepts. What did others find relative to those variables. For example, you found that a bunch of boys never activate in the online course bus signed up to take the course. You could look at the importance of the initial personal contact, the fact that online instruction often lacks personal interaction. You could look at research about the immature student needing more structure. Your study showed the younger students were not as successful. You could also look at studies about previous experience in anything. So I hope you get the idea of what I am saying here. You do not need to find studies that are exactly like yours. What you are looking for are bits and pieces of other studies that you can insert into your paragraphs that that will either support or refute your findings. You can also look for expert opinions, and put some of those in there as well.

Beginning a Personal and Professional Development Plan

Beginning a Personal and Professional Development Plan
Think about your reasons for entering this master’s programme. What are your goals? Consider how you plan to reach your goals. That might be difficult to discern at this point. Even if you have some steps in mind, you will need to be specific and focus on the details of your plan in order to succeed. A good way to start planning and organising your thoughts is by writing things down.

Once you start to write down what you know, you can begin to identify what elements are missing. You can use what you have written to break down the related steps. A cyclical process of revisiting these steps can help you to develop a concrete plan. Keep in mind your plan may shift and change over time, but when you start with a plan, you will have a clearer path to reaching your goals.

In this first Individual Assignment, you will take a step towards cultivating your path by developing the beginning of your personal and professional development plan. This plan will be a component of your Final Project, in which you will fully develop your personal and professional goals in public health leadership, and you will conceive an action plan for achieving them. For Unit 1 though, your task is to identify your goals and consider some of the potential ways you will achieve them.

To complete this Individual Assignment:

Submit a paper in which you address the following:

◾Describe the leadership attributes you aspire to. Include your reasoning on why you selected these attributes in relation to your role in public health.
◾Describe the leadership attributes you hope to avoid in your career. Justify why you find these attributes undesirable or potentially problematic.
◾Explain how you can work to achieve those attributes to which you aspire.
◾Explain how you can work to avoid those attributes you shun.
◾You should fully state and justify any choices or assumptions that you make using the suggested resources for this unit as well as your own research. Include references to any sources you have used. All sources should be cited using Harvard Referencing Style.
