Projects  Group/Individual Topics can be assigned to individuals, but group projects are particularly effective because they help develop the interpersonal skills that are so necessary in today’s working environment.  Oral Report A 10- to 15-minute-long class presentation should involve all group members in a coordinated effort to clearly describe the important components of the study.

Section Copyright © 2014, 2012, 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Projects  Written Report A brief written report should include the following: 1. List of data collected along with description of how the data were obtained. 2. Description of the method of analysis. 3. Relevant graphs and/or statistics, including STATDISK, Minitab, Excel, or TI-83/84 displays. 4. Statement of conclusions. 5. Reasons why the results might not be correct, along with a description of ways in which the study could be improved, given sufficient time and money.

Projects  Large Classes or Online Classes: Posters or PowerPoint Some classes are too large for individual projects or group projects with three or four or five students per group. Some online classes are not able to meet as a group. For such cases, reports of individual or small group projects can be presented through posters or PowerPoint presentations.  Project Topics The “Cooperative Group Activities” listed near the end of each chapter include more than 100 suggestions for projects.
