1. Create a Quantitative Procedure:

 

For this Assignment, you will be graded on the following.

1. Including the new and old information provided to you in the Unit 5 tab.
2. Creating a brief quantitative procedure, based upon your hypothesis, in paragraph format, with the title of “Procedure:” The procedure needs to be a chronological, specific story of what the participants (hypothetically) did as soon as they arrived at the location of the experiment, up until the end when they are thanked and debriefed.
   1. 1. After creating your procedure, please note the design of your study in the following format: “Design: a) experimental, quasi-experimental, or pre-experimental, b) between-subjects or within-subjects, c) non, single, or double blind”

 

	CRITERIA	Deficient (0 – 34 Points Each)	Development Needed (35– 44 Points Each)	Proficient to Exemplary (45- 50 Points Each)
1	Previous information included (e.g.,Topic, Hypothesis, etc.)	Unclear and/or is missing many components and/or did not follow previous feedback	Adequate representation of information, but may lack clarity, depth, or development	Clearly written, with accurate information reflecting appropriate changes based on the instructor’s feedback
2	Quantitative Procedure (and additional notes)	Very unclear, incorrect, and/or is missing many components	Missing one or more required components; still needs work and/or is unclear	Clearly explains a quantitative procedure and includes all other components
	Grade:
