"The paper outline is a hypothetical research paper. No data will be collected, and no data will be analyzed. However, you will have to think of an original topic to discuss. It is not to be merely measuring the association between two variables, but, rather, you need to identify some situation or condition. Then you need to hypothesize about the process that could have caused such a condition. After this is done, you need to design an experiment that could distinguish your process from other potential processes that could also explain the condition. You will NOT then do this experiment. This is a freshman class and the techniques to do this will be taught to you in other classes. Rather, you need to discuss what you would conclude based on the different potential results you could get from this experiment. A literature review is required, and the writing has to meet certain standards as well. "
From what I can gather, the prompt is saying I need the following:
  • Original topic about some situation or condition that I need to identify
  • Hypothesize about the process that could have caused such a condition
  • Design an experiment that could distinguish my process from other potential processes that could also explain this condition
  • Discuss my conclusion based on different potential results from the experiment I designed
  • Literature review??

Mostly confused about whether they want a literature review... because those are a pain to write

DCharger96:

From what it looks like to me you have all the requirements you need and yea they want a literature review.

kittybasil:

For ten points? A literature review, too?

DCharger96:

Yea I know they suck but thats what they want

kittybasil:

Yeah but they talked about this in general, we have a final product paper that's worth 80 points too

kittybasil:

So they could've been referring to that. I'm not sure

DCharger96:

maybe

Yeah, I know my professor is crap at explaining things clearly 💀

DCharger96:

it looks like this assignment is part of a bigger assignment thats worth more

kittybasil:

Yeah that's what I thought, the lit review is probably part of the 80 point paper

kittybasil:

10 points for that much work?? Not fair at all

DCharger96:

no itss not fair at all

kittybasil:

Yeah I think I'll just skip that part... I'm short on time and that just doesn't seem logical to include that part Thanks man

kittybasil:
