Correlation?

[vashappenin]

Hey,
I was doing practise papers for research methods, and I keep coming across questions to do with correlation, except these were on the 2002-10 papers, and I didn't see anything abt correlation in the study design.
Are we still meant to know what it is or not?

Nah you dont need to know about it for the new study design

[vashappenin]

Ok that's really good, thanks

Whoa, nice score for psych! My dream is to get something like that *sigh*

might crop up in a multiple choice

I'm wondering the same thing, I think you still need to know it because if you look at last years mid year paper question 45 in multiple choice had something to do with it. Only 15% got it right too (answer - D) so my guess is they'll be putting it on this years paper again.

wasnt the correlation question only on last year's exam because it was a mistake? they arent allowed to ask about concepts beyond the study design.

I hope so! Although it didn't say anything about that in the assessment report - just that people didn't address the question properly.
