Dr. Kenney conducts a study in which she gives some students (chosen randomly) logically organized learning material; she gives other students the same material presented in a haphazard, unpredictable sequence.

   a. A descriptive quantitative study
   b. A qualitative study
   c. An experimental study
   d. A correlational study

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.
