Experiment project

You are going to develop an experiment like we discussed in class. Then you will write a quasi-experiment, and then a non-experiment (retro and prospective). Begin by writing your experiment below, then continue with the quasi and non-experiments on the following pages. You can use the same topic or a different topic for each, but they must be new and not used during class.

Experimental Project Title:

Description of your Study:

List the three main components to an experiment and clearly write about them. Ensure I know what you are describing, so dont simply use bullets.

Quasi-Experimental Project Title:

Description of your Study. Describe your study and what is different compared to the experiment. Why does that make it a quasi-experiment?

Independent variable(s): ______________________________________________________

Dependent variable(s):________________________________________________________

Extraneous (Confounding) variable(s): ______________________________________________________

Non-Experimental Project Title:
