Before you begin
Read Leedy & Ormrod Chapters 5-6.
 

Getting started

1. Look over the Methodology Recipe Assignment.
2. Look through your textbook  to identify some research methodologies. For example, the Table of Contents lists several suitable topics in Chapter 9, like "correlational research," "sampling designs," etc.

The book provides, overall, a long list of suitable possibilities (but not all in one place). You may choose an overall design (like case study) , a technique (like interviewing, generally something you do within a larger design), or a type of analysis (like a statistical T-test).  In reality, many of these things overlap and you would have to use an overall design, several techniques, and at least one kind of analysis in any given study.  For this assignment, choose just one of these things.  I may ask you to break it down further, and suggest ways to do that.
1. Choose a recipe topic.
2. "Sign up" for your topic by sending it to me in an email.  Topics are first come, first served (no duplications across classmates).  Signing up in advance will protect you from going off in the wrong direction or choosing something too large.  Wait for my ok before you begin.
3. Start the assignment once you have my ok.
4. Bring to class - we'll get to these on Day 2 or Day 3.
