Experimental+Project

=Experimental Project Information=

In order to student teach, you must complete the requirement to design, carry out and report on a quantitative experiment. For this assignment you will be working in assigned groups of 2-3. The completed experimental report will be turned in on Google docs under your group's name.

Here is the PowerPoint presentation from 3/23-3/24 with details.The assigned groups are indicated for each section:

The general procedure that your group should follow:

These guidelines will ensure that each of the requirements for the project are met.

The required elements for the final report and their grading criteria are provided here:
