Propose a method and discuss sampling, instrument of measurement, and data analysis tools. The class will be divided into four or five groups to conduct the chosen studies. I will meet individually with the different groups to iron out problems related to sampling, instrument of measurement, and data analysis. Each group is required to conduct original research and write a final research report to explain and interpret their findings. Everyone in the group will have to participate in the project to support your command of theory and method.
All assignments are due when stipulated.
Except for the final research project, all assignments may be turned in up to five school days late, but there will be a penalty of three points per day. For example, if you earned a 90 on an assignment and turned it in three days late, your grade will be 81. Class attendance is central to doing well in this course. When we begin work on your group projects, unexcused absences will lead to lower grades for the project. The course will cover the information necessary to complete these projects.
