a. Describe and explain your design. Why did you choose that design? Is it experimental, non-experimental, comparative, correlational? Give as many details as you can. Refer to your textbook for help with the benefits of each kind of design. Be sure to cite your book in text if you use it as a reference.
b. List all variables of interest to your study. Identify your independent variable (IV) and/or dependent variable(s) (DV). Give your variables clear, meaningful names so that your readers are not confused. Write out the operational definitions for each variable you are measuring.
