Design an experiment that will examine the question, "Who will learn more about psychology, those students enrolled in a traditional course or those enrolled in a distance learning course?" Be sure to identify • the independent and dependent variables; • any confounding variables that might need to be controlled; and • your control and treatment groups. Also be sure to explain how you will
measure the dependent variable
What will be an ideal response?
There are numerous possible experimental designs. Make sure there is an explicit, testable hypothesis; that "traditional course" and "distance learning" are operationally defined; that subjects are randomly assigned to groups; that the control group is exposed to a traditional class setting rather than to no course at all.
