Instruction
1. Title, Introduction Section, and References: This section will include a descriptive title, which focuses on the student’s hypothesis; an introduction, which consists of a very brief literature review and an initial “guess” for how variables may be related (the student’s hypothesis), and a references section which corresponds to the brief literature review. Students are encouraged to explore the dataset and codebook to come up with their hypothesis as soon as possible, .
2. Method Section: This section is largely already created in the template that is included on BlackBoard. (with the description of “Don’t alter this” next to the title for those sections which should not be altered by the student. However, for this section, the student will need to complete the “Measures” portion of the Method section by identifying the variables they will assess to determine whether their hypothesis may or may not be confirmed by the data in the dataset. Also, the student will need to complete the “Ethical Considerations” section, where any ethical dilemmas or participant risks that may be associated with the study are identified.
3. Results Section: This section constitutes the actual data analysis portion of the study, where students use biostatistics to analyze the variables indicated in the Measures portion of the Method Section.
4. Discussion Section and References: This section is a reflection on whether the student’s hypothesis from the Introduction Section were confirmed by their analyses in the Results section.
see attached. It is divided into 4 segments. I have attached the 4 different sections plus an email from the professor which is a clarification on the assignment. its not a long assignment. if you are good with statistics this will be an easy task. the last three documents will be examples for the sections. also pay attention to the section that states "don't alter this"
