- 2. Today’s Objective • Write discussion and conclusion • Complete first draft
- 3. What should I write for my discussion
- 4. Consider these things • The main result of your survey • A secondary result • A contrasting result • An interesting result (if there is one)
- 5. Table 3: Reasons Respondent Don’t care Good communication Clear line Male 8 2 0 Female 6 3 1 (Main result – 1st paragraph) 80 percent of male students don’t care if their teacher wears a suit. 60 percent of female students don’t care if their teacher wears a suit. (Secondary result – 2nd paragraph) 20 percent of male students suggested casual dress was good for communication. 30 percent of female students suggested casual dress was good for communication. (Contrasting result – 3rd paragraph) 10 percent of female students said suits presented a clear line.
- 6. The main result of your survey In general, the overwhelming number of students did not agree with KIBS’s dress code, which requires BCP teachers to wear suits. Eighty percent of male students and 60 percent of female students did not think it was necessary for their BCP teacher to wear a suit to class. The most common reason given was that students did not care if their teacher wore a suit or not.
- 7. Then the secondary result Furthermore, 20 percent of male students and 30 percent of female students believed a more casual dress code would help communication in the classroom, because it would create a more relaxed atmosphere. Also, it would be a change from the teacher/student relationship they experienced in high school.
- 8. Contrasting result In contrast, only 10 percent of the students agreed with the KIBS dress code for male teachers. The main reason given was that it created a definite line between the teacher and students.
- 9. An interesting result (if there is one) An interesting finding was that while students did not feel it was necessary for BCP teachers to wear suits, 60 percent of female students suggested they would not feel comfortable if their BCP teacher dressed too casually in jeans and a polo shirt.
- 10. Conclusion Restate the information in your results
- 11. Summarize your results According to the survey, students at KIBS do not believe BCP teachers need to wear suits in order to present a professional image in the classroom.
- 12. Make a recommendation As a result, KIBS should consider changing the dress code for male teachers. A change in the rule would create a more relaxed atmosphere in BCP classes and make it clear to KIBS students that the learning environment at our school is very different from high school. But, only make a recommendation if it is necessary for your report. Some of your reports do not require recommendations.
