What is case study?
A case study is an investigation of an individual, group, or particular event.
What is controlled?
A controlled experiment is a type of investigation in which the relationship between
two variables is tested in a controlled environment;
what is correlational study?
A correlational study is a type of non-experimental study in which no variables are manipulated
What is classification?
Arrangement of objects/events into managable sets.
what is identification?
A person associates themself with a set or being apart of a new set.
what is field work?
any experiement involving observations or interacting with humans.
what is modelling?
manipulation of a physical model
what is product, process, system devlopement?

what is literature review?
the process of comparing your data from a experiement to somebody elses data
what is simulation?
the process of using a model to study the behaviour of a real system.
Name all three subject designs
within, between, and mixed subject designs
what is within subject design? provide advantage /disadvantage
completes every experimental condition
- less people are needed
- good for real word settings
- produces order effects
- particapants dropping out have bigger impacts
what is between subject design?
divided into different groups to compare.
- less time consuming
- does not create order effects
- require more particapants
- particapants differences
what is mixed subject design?
elements of both within and between subject designs.
- results can be compared more
- allows multiple experimental conditions
- costly/time consuming
- demanding
