Proposal Method

Examples of Proposal Method in the following topics:

• Arguing with Evidence and Warrants

  • After identifying the problem, gather evidence, draw conclusions, then assemble those conclusions into a cohesive position or proposal.
  • The position method and proposal method are two variations on normal argument structure.
  • The position method seeks to convince the reader to share your position on an issue or question.
  • The proposal method, as the name suggests, offers a solution to a problem.
  • List and define argument methods based on evidence, warrant, position, and proposal

• Introduction to Power

  • You receive a proposal to evaluate a new method of teaching high-school algebra.
  • The research plan is to compare the achievement of students taught by the new method with the achievement of students taught by the traditional method.
  • The proposal contains good theoretical arguments why the new method should be superior and the proposed methodology is sound.
  • In addition to these positive elements, there is one important question still to be answered: Does the experiment have a high probability of providing strong evidence that the new method is better than the standard method if, in fact, the new method is actually better?
  • It is possible, for example, that the proposed sample size is so small that even a fairly large population difference would be difficult to detect.

• The Right to Vote

  • Jean-Charles de Borda proposed the Borda count in 1770 as a method for electing members to the French Academy of Sciences.
  • His system was opposed by the Marquis de Condorcet, who proposed instead the method of pairwise comparison that he had devised.
  • A variety of methods were proposed by statesmen such as Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Daniel Webster.
  • Some of the apportionment methods discovered in the United States were in a sense rediscovered in Europe in the 19th century, where they had served as seat allocation methods for the newly proposed system of party-list proportional representation.
  • The result is that many apportionment methods have two names: for instance, Jefferson's method is equivalent to the d'Hondt method, as is Webster's method to the Sainte Lague method, while Hamilton's method is identical to the Hare largest remainder method.

• Ranking Investment Proposals

  • Several methods are commonly used to rank investment proposals, including NPV, IRR, PI, payback period, and ARR.
  • The most valuable aim of capital budgeting is to rank investment proposals.
  • To choose the most valuable investment option, several methods are commonly used:
  • The higher the NPV, the more attractive the investment proposal.
  • ARR calculates the return, generated from net income of the proposed capital investment.

• The Scientific Method

  • The scientific method can be applied to almost all fields of study as a logical, rational, problem-solving method.
  • To solve one problem, several hypotheses may be proposed.
  • Keep in mind that there could be other responses to the question; therefore, other hypotheses may be proposed.
  • The scientific method may seem too rigid and structured.
  • If a hypothesis is not supported by experimental data, a new hypothesis can be proposed.

• Choosing the Right Method for the Message

  • Within those channels is a variety of specific methods.
  • Letter - This is a formal method of communication typically suited for important messages such as proposals, inquiries, agreements, and recommendations.
  • Presentation - This method usually comprises a formal proposal, update, recommendation, or report involving audiovisual material, slideshows, and statistics.
  • Forum This method allows members to post information publicly and efficiently in a centralized location.
  • With the variety of methods available, it is important to choose the right method for the message.

• A Useful Mnemonic Rule

  • The simplest, albeit least rigorous, method for predicting the configurational path favored by a proposed pericyclic reaction is based upon a transition state electron count.
  • Although this modest mnemonic does not make explicit use of molecular orbitals, more rigorous methods that are founded on the characteristics of such orbitals have provided important insight into these reactions.

• The Standard View of the Scientific Method

  • The process by which knowledge is acquired is often called the "scientific method. " There are several variations of the way in which the scientific method are characterized, but the steps usually are:
  • act on the proposed solution or policy to solve the problem
  • The first step in the so-called scientific method requires an integration of positive and normative issues (normative and positive aspects of economics was discussed under the section on Milton Friedman).

• Formal Methods of Amending the Constitution

  • These are the Congressional method and the Constitutional Convention methods.
  • House of Representatives instead directly proceed to the adoption of a joint resolution; thus, they mutually propose the amendment with the implication that both bodies "deem" the amendment to be "necessary. " All amendments presented so far have been proposed and implemented as codicils, appended to the main body of the Constitution .
  • If at least two-thirds of the legislatures of the states make the request, Congress is then required to call a convention for the purpose of proposing amendments.
  • Senators caused such proposals to regularly pass the House of Representatives only to die in the Senate.
  • Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution that have been ratified, Congress has specified the method of ratification through state conventions for only one: the 21st Amendment, which became part of the Constitution in 1933.

• Determining the Research Design

  • In general, scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design research to test these hypotheses via predictions which can be derived from them.
  • Another distinction can be made between quantitative methods and qualitative methods.
  • Quantitative methods are generally useful when a researcher seeks to study large-scale patterns of behavior, while qualitative methods are often more effective when dealing with interactions and relationships in detail .
  • Qualitative methods are often used to develop a deeper understanding of a particular phenomenon.
  • Even in the same study a researcher may employ multiple methods.
