A professor teaches three Introductory Psychology classes. He bases the grades of Class 1 on essays only, the grades of Class 2 on Multiple Choice exams only, and the grades of Class 3 on class presentations only. At the end of the semester, he records the number of students falling into each of three categories based on how well they liked the course (i.e.: Very much, Indifferent, Very little). Assuming you answered the previous question correctly, how could he change his procedures to run the other analysis listed? (i.e., How could he change the test from a Chi-square Test for Independence to a Two-way ANOVA OR vice versa?)

What will be an ideal response?


Correct Answer:
Instead of counting the number of students who fell into each category in terms of liking the course, he could have measured their liking for the course on an interval or ratio scale.
