Hertogs writes, “In general, there are inconclusive results regarding the effectiveness of competing transcription methods for expository compositions and virtually no results on transcription methods for notetaking. However, by synthesizing what other researchers have found to be beneficial notetaking strategies — higher transcription speed, accessible storage, organization, etc. — with data I collected from two university students, this study will fill the gap in the research by assessing the effectiveness of each method of transcription for notetaking” (par. 5) Hertogs assumes that this study will fill in the gap he describes in research on this subject. Is this an accurate representation of the contribution of this study? How else might you characterize its contribution? Studies are not always replicated, making the results of a single study hard to verify. While the results from a single study may not definitively verify a hypothesis, what can you do with results from a single study? What are other ways you can use the results?
