D. Field study

Assigned Week 7 (March 9). Due Week 12 (April 20).

Conduct a small empirical study of one of the conjectures from your conjecture map and write up the results.

Deliverables

Your write-up from your field study will be a technical report for an internal audience. This means that you can assume the reader is familiar with your project, and that formality is much less importan than clarity.

  • Introduction: Present your updated conjecture map and explain which conjecture you explore in this study and why it is the most important conjecture to explore at this point. Your central research question should be very closely related to the conjecture you are exploring.
  • Research design: Explain how your study will answer your research question, including the data you plan to collect, and how you will interpret or analyze that data to answer your question.
  • Results: Present and analyze your data.
  • Conclusions: Explain how your research answers your research question, and what's next in your research process.
