Hi Everyone, I was hoping to get some new activity ideas for a course I teach on experimental design. This course tends to be on the small side (i.e., perhaps around 20 students, give or take). In the course, students learn about different kinds of designs and also about the ways they would analyze data from these designs. We focus on between-subjects designs, within-subjects designs, and mixed designs (where we use ANOVA) and we also get into multiple regression and analysis of covariance. We use SPSS as our statistical software package.
Although the class is small, I like, whenever possible, to involve my students in activities where they can better understand each design. I like to be able to gather some data from the class that might work to illustrate each different design. This isn't always feasible given the small sample size I have, of course. I know there are sometimes good instructor guides that go along with different books (particularly research methods books) that might have activities that are meant to illustrate different designs. Does anyone happen to have some ideas of good class activities I might be able to use, or resources I might check out? Thanks so much for your time and help!
