Dear Riki, Yes, we would be very pleased to have you forward this in that manner. You might wish to also mention that we have other psych cases in our collection and we're looking to publish more, if people have ones to submit.

Would it be OK to forward this to them? I'm sure many teachers would want to use it.

Feenstra, Department of Psychology, Northwestern College, Orange City, IA. Two friends debate whether people leave their parking spaces faster if others are waiting. They decide to see if they can design a study to test their ideas. In this interrupted case study, students develop a research question and hypothesis and consider how to test a hypothesis. Students read about what researchers have done to answer the research question and identify and evaluate different research designs. Students are also asked to evaluate data. Developed for a use in an introductory psychology course to cover terms and concepts related to research methods, the case could be used in other introductory science classes, early in research methods courses, or in upper-level social science courses. To directly access the case, teaching notes, and key, go to the case record at: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/detail.asp?case_id=578&id=578 To generally explore the case collection, find our latest cases, and perform keyword searches, begin at: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regards, Ky Herreid Website Manager National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science University at Buffalo Biological Sciences 109 Cooke Hall Buffalo, NY 14260 [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
