Discuss the criteria used to determine the appropriateness of random assignment versus matching techniques.

Review the “Matched-Subjects Design” document, found under course materials tab, and follow the instructions listed in the document.

Working with your group members complete the design experiment.

After completing the exercise, have a scholarly discussion around the following questions in your CLC thread:

Advantages for each technique. Provide at least two.

Disadvantages for each technique. Provide at least two.

Discuss the criteria used to determine the appropriateness of random assignment versus matching techniques.

As a group, come to a consensus for each question. Choose a recorder to record your consensus in a word document to be submitted to your instructor. You will not need to prepare an APA style paper, you may use bullet points to convey your consensus; however strong academic writing is still expected, as well as in-text citations where appropriate.

Submit your individual “Matched-Subjects Design” document, the recorder will submit the consensus paper along with their “Matched-Subjects Design” document. See the resources titled “Submitting Multiple Assignment Documents” for assistance.
