1.    You decide that part of your study will be designed as an experiment. Sketch out in two pages or less (single spaced) an outline of an experimental design for this study.




2.    How will you select subjects for your experiment? If you decide to select them with some kind of a random process, how would you carry this out? If you do not use a random process for selecting your sample of subjects, what impact will this have on the external validity of your study? (No page requirement.)




3.    A little thought will show that your study is attempting to establish a causal connection between project management training and on-the-job performance. What internal validity issues do you need to address? What challenges will you encounter in trying to establish a causal relationship? (No page requirement.)




4.    State a theory that will guide you in designing and executing your study. What constructs will you explore as building blocks of your theory? What construct validity issues will arise for each of the constructs? (No page requirement.)
