You are ready to begin collecting data for an experiment. You planned to randomly assign students from your university to one of two groups and then administer an IV to one of the groups. However, your research partner, without your knowledge, simply placed all students from one class into the experimental group, and all students from another class into the control group. Your advisor tells you it will now be hard to make cause-and-effect conclusions. Why?
A) The students were not asked which group they wanted to be in.
B) The students were not randomly assigned to the two groups.
C) The students should have provided informed consent first.
D) Only one group received the IV.
