Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this more in depth! It really helped me understand the pretest-posttest randomized control group design. I was unaware of just how much goes into assuring there are no biases in an experiment!
Hello Shayna,
I loved this post. You did a fantastic job explaining True Experimental Designs. I also touched on that subject as well. This was a very clean PowerPoint and helped me get even more detail on the subject. Good Work!
Hey Shayna, I think you did a great job in your presentation. It was very clear and understandable. As far as bias and random design, looking at the different types of studies (random and non-random), it seems as if a random design would be easier to think through as its being setup and get better results from, since it seems as if a non-random design creates a lot of potential for bias, and there are steps that must be taken to eliminate that as much as possible (as in all experiments). However, there are some factors that make a true experiment not feasible (as you mentioned), so there are definitely some drawbacks.
