QSS 15 Poster Session

On Monday, November 18, students in QSS 15: Introduction to Data Analysis presented posters based on their culminating group research projects. In Fall 2024, QSS 15 was taught by Robert Cooper.  To carry out their research projects, each group of three to five students collected their own data, analyzed it, and created a poster. Project guidelines required students to use an experimental approach where they randomized treatment assignment.  Each group in QSS 15 decided what topic to study, how to collect data, how to design an intervention, and how to communicate their results at the class poster session.  Topics covered in the QSS 15 poster session ranged from  Informed Decision-Making in Regards to Caffeine Consumption to How Different Music Genres Affect Stress and Mood.
