About research design notes

GoConqr Original

What the research design notes cover

The notes offer several ways into the unit. The chapter on factorial designs describes research that examines more than one independent variable. Another chapter outlines within-subjects designs, where each participant takes part in more than one condition.

For a broader starting point, Topic C Notes lists types of research and research designs alongside steps in research. There are also notes on selecting a research approach, quasi-experimental designs and the methods of a research project.

How to use the notes

Start with Topic C Notes if you want to look across research types. If you are focusing on experiments, read the factorial and within-subjects chapters and compare the design features they describe.

After reading, use a mind map on the unit page to see how ideas connect, or switch to a quiz to check your understanding. Choose a note that matches the design you are studying.
