- This homework does not have an answer key because students picked their own analysis to run. Given the large number of students I have I do not give feedback on this homework, but with a smaller class that would be ideal.
Objectives:
- build excitement for choosing a research question one is interested in and then analyzing it
- practice identifying the right statistical test given the specific independent variable(s) and dependent variables. Jamovi also helps guide this based on the variable types
- practice preregistering a hypothesis
- practice graphing results and analyzing data
