Question 2

Professor Moriarty conducts an experiment to test whether or not the Holmes Approach to Studying Psychology (HASP) is superior to the Watson Approach to Studying Psychology (WASP).

   a. The final exam is not a good measure of what students have learned.
   b. Students in the 9:00 class are probably more motivated.
   c. Students in the 9:00 class are probably smarter.
