 * RESEARCH METHODS **



You will have noticed that research methods is outlined exclusively in the Unit 3 study design. Prior to 2013 there were dot points in both units.

 * 1.1 Steps in research (pages 2 and 3)
 * 1.2 Independent and dependent variables (pages 4 and 5)
 * 1.3 Formulating a hypothesis (pages 6 and 7)
 * 1.4 Population and sample (pages 8 and 9)
