Planning Your Research; Collaboration: Team Projects:

In a team assigned by your instructor, decide how you would structure a research project to answer the following questions. Identify any shortcomings in the approaches you have chosen.

a. Has the litter problem on campus been reduced since the cafeteria began offering fewer take-out choices this year than in past years?

b. Has the school attracted more transfer students since it waived the formal application process and allowed students at other colleges simply to send their transcripts and a one-page letter of application?

c. Have the number of traffic accidents at the school's main entrance been reduced since a traffic light was installed?

d. Has student satisfaction with the campus bookstore improved now that students can order their books online and pick them up at several convenient campus locations?
