8. Mid-term Project (Choose 1 of the 2 assignments below)
Assignment 1: Theory-Driven Survey Design – You will be given a broad theory and
asked to choose a particular aspect of the theory, formulate your own hypotheses
based on this aspect of the theory, and design one or more experiments to test these
hypotheses.
Assignment 2: Data-Driven Survey Design and Analysis – You will be given a data
set and asked to analyze the data, formulate your own hypotheses based on the
analyses you have conducted, and design one or more experiments to test these
hypotheses.
