Provide some research areas that your experimental design would be suitable for

Research design • Repeated measures design • Independent design • Cross over design

• Decide on an experimental design • Decide on method protocol to best suit your experimental design • Research equipment required • Consider sample recruitment • Plan how much data you would like to collect • Identify available days and times • Outline your method • Pilot study Process of designing a method Remember ethics of participants and GDPR throughout.

Design of data collection sheet • More is better than less • Needs to be clear • Logical • Easy to analyse • Back it up!
