Instructions to try now

  • Create a google form.
    • Hint: put in filler questions to disguise the treatment
  • Make a copy of the google form and change ONE thing only.
  • Use the random redirect tool from here to create the experiment link.
    • Put the link to google form 1 as link 1
    • Put the link to google form 2 as link 2
    • Push the button to get the random redirect link
  • And that’s it!

Another cross-curricular link:

​

Biology AS91601 Carry out a practical investigation in a biological context, with guidance 4 credits

  • Things we have learnt:
    • Busy time of year = less stress
    • Only accessible to Biology students
    • Lack of statistical ideas, e.g. random allocation, so need to remind them to use statistical evidence and language.
