Weekend HW = Take Your Experiment Notes!

Assignment Due Tuesday, January 7th:
  • Your job is to take your own notes on experimental design!
  • These are YOUR notes. Be thorough. We will discuss experimental design for 3 class periods with a quiz next Friday! The more thorough your notes, the better prepared you'll be!
  • I will collect the (19) multiple choice questions at the start of class Tuesday; this will be graded as a quiz. Use your notes to help with these!

  • Here's everything you need for the assignment:
    • First, read chapter 13 and answer the questions linked below in your notes. (I also gave these to you in class on Friday).
    • There is a link to a slightly newer version of our book on the blog (top right); you can use this to take your notes, but the page numbers listed may not match up.
    • You don't have to write the question--do what works for you, these are your notes. Use bullets, use complete sentences, whatever works best for you.
      • Try to avoid just copying stuff from the book; if you put ideas in your own words it makes you think about what you're writing, and ultimately develop a better understanding
      • Jot down any questions that come up--for instance, if you don't understand what a "confounding variable" is, make a note of that! Your questions will guide our discussions in class.

    • The link below has answers to a bunch of questions students asked last year after their reading. If you were confused about anything you read, take a look here and you'll likely find some more info about that topic/idea!
