Abstract

College sports are one of the most talked about debate in the United States. This study examined 20 student athletes at University of Louisville to see if college athletes should be paid. All players varied between different sports and that put more of an impact on the results. The results that have been taken show that most students strongly agree with getting paid for playing their sport.

Introduction

Currently in the United States some college players are getting paid on a scholarship. This Varies on how good of a player you are in your sport coming out of high school, however in recent research college athletes are needing more than just a scholarship. In this experiment we are seeing if it’s a struggle or their happy with the treatment of money they get.

Method

Participants:

For this experiment there were 20 participants total in the survey. Seven of them were females and thirteen of them were males used in the data research. All participants were various ages of college athletes at the University of Louisville. All participants were to fill out a printed out survey about their opinions on whether or not college athletes should be paid. They were given the option strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. After asked the main question they were then asked if they should be paid in scholarships or in a salary payment. Then asked lastly what sport they personally play at school.

Observation:

These groups of students were face to face asked questions that were put together, over a period of days. After all 20 students were asked the same question, and while most people said strongly agree a couple said strongly disagree. When interviewed on why the couple said no they said they don’t need more than there school paid for.

Results

In this table it shows the results of the students being asked the question “should college athletes be paid?”  It shows that most students strongly agree on topic and a few agree and just a couple strongly disagrees.  Out of the 16 that fell under the strongly agreed column, 5 were basketball players, 7 were football players, 1 was cheer and 3 were soccer.  Under the agree column 2 of them were swimmers and 1 was a football player.

Discussion

This study suggests that the more time put into the sport the more strongly you agree on getting paid for the sport that you play. With a bigger variety of sports that our played on campus that could of been interviewed could possibly change the average of how many people agree on college athletes being paid. Further research could happen by having more questions asked and more students participating.

topics

My first research question is should college athletes be paid? Im going to ask the class and get there survey and then im going to ask 5-10 college athletes on campus and see there point of view.
My other question will be do you think domestic violence happens beteen lower income people or higher income people? I'm going to survey the class for this question and this is what i wrote my last research topic on so i have alot of research on the topic.

reflection on remediation

There were some challenges while changing my research paper into a media presentation. i changed my paper into a powerpoint presentation. It would of been really hard to get all the detail out of my paper just using the presentation but having the voice over really helped me explain what i was trying to say because i didnt want to write to much on the powerpoint to loose a person attention.

My audience didnt really change from the paper to the powerpoint because it was both directed to people that wanted research on domestic violence. there were pictures and talking to help someone more clearly understand what i was explaining but overall it was directed to the same audience.

My resorces in my powerpoint were ore pictures. although my pictures werent describing what i was trying to say it was a better image to tie back my main points that i was talking about on the slides.

IMRaD

IMRaD stands for introduction, methods and discussion. both of them relate back to a research topic but just set up and formatteed diferrently. the introduction and results are a little bit the same. both states what your topic is, and also your findings, data, and evidence you found to backup your topic goes in results.

Some things that are different is that in the IMRaD, you are coming up with a hypothesis. it could support or not support your topic. something else is the discussion part. its discussing if you yourself has got the research needed. to make comparisons with other studies. theses paragraphs talk back to what you've been writing about in your paper.

media blog

In the reading  about remediation  there are a bunch of different muti media ways to show my paper and we talked about many in class. For mine i have decided to do a power point. its what i see as easiest and clearest way to portray information without getting confused but also involved.

 I'm trying to do the voice over now so I'm hoping that works. I'm going to make each slide different so it catches the audiences attention in more of a media type of way then me just reading my paragraphs. I'm also going to add in some pictures with it to show examples of my text to make it seem more realistic.
