Episode notes
Hello again everyone, and welcome to our Week 6 episode on research and statistics! In this episode, we will walk through the research process broken down here into 7 steps: creating the question, completing a literature review, designing our study, specifying our measurements of variables (as well as our hypotheses), collecting our data, analyzing that data, and finally offering an interpretation/conclusion that addresses our research question. This episode is a bit on the long side, but it will hopefully serve you well as a guide for our Initial Draft assignment and in descriptions of the structure for the Midterm Exam!
