Question

You will begin your t-Test Course Project in this module The first part of your project involves selecting an appropriate research question and data source. This means you need to select a research question that can be answered using a t-test and selecting a data file, website with appropriate data available, or developing a plan for collecting the data yourself. Normally, another option would be to conduct a survey, but due to the time required to develop a good survey as well as university policies on human subjects research, you won't do that in this course How should you proceed with selecting a topic? Follow this criteria before you pose your research question and data source. Look at the resources contained in the documents below. Review the sample projects . Give serious thought about your own interests. Most important...Be original! Although these documents were presented earlier in the course, here are the links again, in case you did not review them or save them for future reference. The examples file provides the same or similar type of projects that students did at another school. The resources file suggests some websites that can be used to collect data and gives some further examples. t-Test Project Examples Resources t-test Project Resources The project instruction and rubric files are provided below (they too, were initially presented in a previous module).
