The following assignment is designed to help you write the Introduction and Methods section for your Project 4 final paper. Consider this a rough draft that I'll provide feedback on so when you go to submit your final project you'll be able to fix any problems ahead of time!
Answers to the following questions can be provided in a list (similar to below), but for the final paper, you will need to write everything out in full sentence paragraph format.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
For this project, it should be a brief one-paragraph (4-5 sentences minimum) explanation of (1) what the purpose of our research and (2) what you hoped to find/learn from doing this project. If you're not sure of the purpose of this paper, see Project 4: School Success.
Methods
Schools
What was the exact number of schools? This was all schools, not just the three you picked. How many small, medium, & large schools were selected? You can get this information from the Project 4 Minitab file located on the Project 4: Data page.
Refer the reader to the Appendix (the Appendix goes at the end of the paper) and have a list of all the schools used for this project (this should be from the Minitab file from the Project 4: Data page - you should be able to copy and paste this).
Materials
What materials were used to conduct this study? (Hint, where did we get the data from? What did you need to collect the data?)
What variables did we collect data on? This is where you provide the data dictionary. (Hint, this information was on the Project 4: Data page)
Procedures
What specifically did you do to collect the data for your three schools?
How was the rest of the data collected?
Appendix
This goes at the end of the paper, so it's the very last thing. It's where you add the full list of the schools used for this Project.
