Abstract
The wheels are turning, but nobody is home. Procrastination has set in and we are in the middle of a fishing trip. A fisherman needs the right bait, equipment, and location to catch that perfect fish. One may be sitting in the boat holding a fishing pole (short cuts do not solve problems), but epistemology is everything. Different parts of this equation are what bring together an awesome framework. Let us go back and evaluate this scenario. Flipping through the pages of the Bass Pro Shop magazine for fisherman’s one comes across the rod and reel that is finally going to make waves in your fishing world. The Abu Garcia …show more content…
rod suddenly leaps off the page into your hands, but that is not all it has the Abu Garcia Revo Premier Spinning reel attached and for the right price. Now, it is time to get that pole in the water. Pull the reins back here and one will see why?

Post Assessment-The Big Fishing Trip
Before, I can jump in to my clinical trial, cohort effect and community trials I need a thought, assumption, spark, idea, hypothesis and theory.
Then one needs to research the research and see who has the same ideas as self. Evaluation of the equation jumps on the page. Before I can get my research off the ground I need to go back and evaluate somebody else’s to make sure the data is validated and accurate. This sounds crazy, but wait a good fisherman goes on know-how, but an awesome fisherman gets advice from others and researches history to predict future.
Making Plans
This fishing trip is getting complicated and now I cannot find the map. Thoughts and ideas must have a plan, course of action, and back-up plan. This is a literature map according to Creswell (2009). Our objective is to catch the big one so let us begin. My next play is to know specific, proficiencies, describe variations, relationships, and expectations of what one is trying to illuminate. Watching experts in their field, gathering field notes, plastering thoughts together on paper, how to video shows, and audio texts are just a few ways of assembling material for the quest of a lifetime.

method
One might want to do a quantitative research here and crunch some numbers to find out best location, bait, odds of catching fish and which technique is preferred by leading fisherman. This research is always accurate and factual. Maybe, I am not a numbers person and prefer the one-on-one (interview) and video of how to. Then one would need to peruse the qualitative

method, but what if I crave both methods.
My fishing trip is not lost because now I can apply both methods and call it mixed. My weakness (concurrent triangulation) of one research method now has more ground to operate within a given framework to create the best foundation (Creswell, 2009, p. 213).
Looking ahead and sorting
So, let me see we have the rod and reel, but where is my bait? Information collected from various open-ended questions, experiments, power points, surveys, and grounded theory. Okay, the bait is here I just need to sort it out. Writing a rough draft of this data would be a strong point of origin to refer back to when putting everything in the boat for the fishing trip. Okay, the bait is in the water. Man you forgot the fishing line (purpose statement). Oh, but we have it right here. Catching the big fish with the right equipment gives one a since of accomplishment.
Who is in this with me?
My next plan is to find other organization, television shows, fishing entrepreneur that would be interested in placing sponsorship in my trek. Even a simple fishing trip requires time, supplies, and money to conquer ones objective. Sometimes partners and teams make the gathering of information easier plus, going back and rechecking the numbers creates validation and accuracy. This course of action will create a factual, unbiased structure that can lead to the production of a 3-D video on “The big
catch”.
Putting it all together
Post-asset
The intent of ‘calculations reviews are made to present a foundation for creating resolutions concerning substitutions’, enquiries of function are also tackled. An interpretation throws out the radius of potential transformations among ideal exploration and assessment feedbacks. Distinctions show that they (like a twin/concurrent) share various individualities of technique and tactic, while giving epistemology, assistance and stimulation from the advancement of concept and to interject ‘a learning of skills’. The crucial variances are not those of the inspector and the scholar, but those who the action affected. Catching the big fish has created a void in the lake, the catfish is left to fend for itself, the taxidermist has increased pay, and my plate is empty. Whether one decides to generalize or provide direction without reaching the statement and conclusion (transferable results) fall back on the fisherman.
Ethical dilemma give rise
Finally, one is in the boat, but what about the fish’s right. What? How about the right to jump on my plate (just kidding). One needs to make some calls to the Fish and Game Warden to makes sure one is up-to-date on endanger fish list, legal length for keeping catch, limit on amount of fish, and license requirement for one’s state. After all, we want to be professional and show integrity without doing harm to self or fish.
Rechecking plan
Boat, rod and reel, fishing line, bait, requirements, location, and money, but what about the weather? Timing is everything when mixing one’s research. Theories, numbers and sequence must interlock to create substantial weight.

The Big day
Finally, got the boat packed, picked up a few items for the cooler, and the wheels are turning in my mind. Now, we are anchored in at our fishing spot. The bait has been put on the hook and the line has been cast in the water. A couple of hours go by and nothing is happening. No problem change bait and adjust technique to outsmart the fish. Bingo! The line snap and the fish runs, but we adjust weight and ware down the fish. The bottom line is to stick with a superior course of action, adjust if needed, and bring in the big fish.
