You will have a test on Thursday, 12/4/14 on experimental design and the parts of a research paper.  You should be able to list each part of a research paper in the proper order and explain the purpose/function of each part. (e.g. abstract, results, discussion)  You should also know the terminology related to experimental design and random sampling and be able to apply that terminology to a study scenario.  You should also be able to evaluate experiments for variables, controls and constants, and judge for bias or other poor design issues.
