Answer the following questions about your experiment and post them to a new wave. Your answers needn’t be written formally, but they should be thoughtful and thorough.
1. Did the data you collected prove or disprove your hypothesis? Did you successfully change your behavior? Were the reasons you thought your behavior would change important or unimportant to that change?
2. Try looking at the data you collected without thinking about your original hypothesis… do you notice any patterns that you hadn’t anticipated in the design of your study? In other words, did your study tell you anything you weren’t looking for in the first place? Could your data be used to prove a different hypothesis than the one you posed?
3. If you did the experiment again how would you change it? How would you tie your data to your hypothesis more convincingly? Would you make the study shorter or longer, or would you change the environment or any of the other variables?
