to me
Owolabi,
I have attached my marked copy from today to this email as I am not seeing that you have
addressed the comments from prior submissions and communications with Dr. Andrews and
me. I would recommend that you look through today's comments, the April 20 and May 22
comments all attached or shown below. At this juncture, the SmartForm is not ready to be
reviewed by the committee.
Thank you!
Dr. V.
Owolabi,
Pursuant to our call on Thursday, I reviewed the comments made by the school reviewer which
are attached and shown below. They are very concise and clear and as I see it boil down to a
few key points:
1. CHANGE METHOD -- The move from narrative inquiry to generic qualitative inquiry is
a school requirement as this term narrative inquiry was removed as an approved
method. You were not misdirected by the committee, but the approved methods
changed in Q2-2021. I would refer you back to Creswell or Patton for more
information on that.
2. CONNECT TO PA -- Continue to strongly establish the connection with public
administration using the literature. If indeed, your intent is to evaluate a policy of a
government and the perceptions of the community, you can find literature which
would demonstrate that public administrators should review policies periodically to
see if the desired results, in this case improved community relations, public safety,
perceptions, etc. are being achieved.
3. RQ ALIGNMENT -- Please review Dr. Andrews's comments and shared resources
below regarding alignment of the research questions and/or adjusting
inclusion/exclusion criteria.
4. SITE -- The site issue is entirely up to you, however, you have based this entire study
on Newark, Delaware. If that site is no longer a feasible one, then choose one that is
and does not constitute a total revamp of this study. As you are aware, interviewing a
mayor or police chief is likely not going to be feasible. Consider the best site,
population and sample to elicit the information you seek to answer the RQs for your
study. At the end of the process, site is going to be de-identified and more
information on that can be found on the IRB homepage or in the Doctoral Publications
Guidelines.
Finally, I would recommend contacting Disability Services regarding ongoing health challenges.
They will be able to provide guidance for you.
Owolabi,
Clearly this is coming along well. Please address Dr. Andrews's comments. I am still awaiting Dr.
Strouse.
Dr. Versuk
