Title: "Experiences in Learning Quantitative Research"
The following information is provided for you to decide whether you wish to voluntarily participate in the present study. You should be aware that you are free to decide not to participate or to withdraw at any time without affecting your relationship with this department, the instructor, or the University. The purpose of this study is to relate past experiences with research to scores on the quizzes in class.
Data will be collected using a brief survey at the beginning of the class. Then, three quizzes will be given during the semester and your scores recorded. The survey data and your quiz scores will be the only data collected in the study. Do not hesitate to ask questions about the study before participating or during the study. I would be happy to share the findings with you after the research is completed. Your name will not be associated with the research findings in any way, and only the researchers will know your identity.
There are no known risks and/or discomforts associated with this study. The expected benefits associated with your participation are the information about the experiences in learning research methods. If this study is later submitted for publication, a by-line will indicate the participation of all students in the class. Please sign this consent form. You are signing it with full knowledge of the nature and purpose of the procedures. A copy of this form will be given to you to keep.
