Next Week
at the Library

Next week you will take your midterm exam. So far, we have spent our time learning about fundamental concepts in research design such as measurement, reliability, validity, operational definitions, and types of variables. The remainder of the course will focus on design options, recognizing the elements of the designs, and learning about the uses of each. Next week's class content will focus on case studies and within group designs specifically.
