PY2107 Assessment 2: Description

One of the primary objectives of this subject is for you to be able to apply basic knowledge to the design and analysis of experiments. You will be provided with a description of a study and a corresponding dataset. Using the skills that you learn throughout the trimester you will have to analyse the dataset and write up a research report as if for publication in a scientific journal.

Your report must contain all the relevant sections, as set out in the APA publication manual: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. The report should be 2000 words +/- 10% (excluding the reference list and appendices).

The analyses that you will need to perform in order to analyse that dataset will be covered in the analysis focused tutorials. Earlier tutorials will cover issues of experimental design, which will also help you when writing your assignment. Thus, to prepare for this assessment, you should attend lectures and tutorials and complete the required reading and activities.

Specific information regarding formatting and content requirements, as well as information about the study and a dataset, will be provided in LearnJCU (in the Assessment area).

You will submit your written research report via LearnJCU. Only Word or PDF documents will be accepted
