What area of interest/research question do you wish to explore through a research study design?
Working at the college would be better than working outside the college (in term of time) in order to do well in school? Students working on campus have more time to study than those students who have to commute to their jobs.
What variables or concepts are you looking to observe and/or manipulate?
May students do better in their studies working in campus than outside the campus.
What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)
The type of design that best suit me research question would be correlation.
What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.)
The research method I would use to conduct me experiment would be a case study.
If applicable, what would you put as your independent and dependent variables?
The independent variable would be the time and the dependent variable would be doing good in their studies.
Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find.
Students working on campus have more time to studies and do well in their classes since they do not have to spend time commuting.
What might be the benefits and implications of this study? In other words, who would gain from it?
The benefits might be doing better in their classes and having more time to study and prepare for their classes.
Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How?
This was more difficult than what I expected because I had to find out who was actually working in school and and students working outside the school. Then found out that students enrolled and working in school did better than other students working outside.
