It can be presumed that in such an enquiry‚ when all items are covered‚ no element of chance is left and highest accuracy is obtained. But in practice this may not be true. Even the slightest element of bias in such an inquiry will get larger and larger as the number of observation increases

Comparisons of Research Design There are several research design methods that have been developed for the field of psychology. Instead of arguing over which is the best method‚ it is more appropriate to compare two of the favored designs. Each one has positive attributes along with negative factors that may influence results. It is more important to understand and decipher which is the most appropriate method to utilize based upon the

Research methodology considers and explains the logic behind research methods and techniques. Sources of non

SYSTEM DESIGN Introduction When the requirements document for the software to be developed is available the design activity begins. The main aim of design process is to produce a model or representation of the system‚ which can be used later to bind the system. The produced model is called design of the system. A system design is a top down approach to minimize complexity and make a problem manageable by subdivided it into smaller segments. The most changing phase of the
