Exam Thoughts & Review

[REBORN]

I know but I put the whole thing just in case. It's VCAA after all....

[monkeywantsabanana]

lol did everyone put fMRI for the imaging technique? total lol if VCAA marks it tightly and say you have to write "functional magnetic resonance imaging"

I WROTE fMRI

OH MY GOD! IF I GET IT WRONG BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE WHOLE THING I WILL EAT ROGER EDWARDS.

Poor poor split. 8 whole marks on Lazarus. 4 on plasticity.

Woo, I put fMRI as well. I thought about what VCAA might do so I wrote "fMRI-functional magnetic resonance imaging'   

[spikey]

If I wrote the IV, DV and hypothesis, how many marks is that worth? :/

Your guess is as good as all of ours I think but in my opinion I think it's

1 mark for IV
1 mark for operationalised IV
1mark for DV
1 mark for operationalised DV
2 marks for Hypothesis (Population + correct variables)

1 mark for accept/reject hypothesis and why(statistical significance)
1 mark for confounding variable
1 mark for control of confounding variable
1 mark for for conclusion and generalisations made but then i said no generalisations 'cus the sample was convenient...

If its that, then i got full marks yeh boiiiiiiiii. Unless my population in the hypothesis and the confounding variable was wrong. Which it could very well be. My confounding variable was independent groups = order effects, cos it said weaknesses in the experimental design
Also chucked in that class A might have been tired the first time they performed or had a day so that may have been a confounding variable...pointless and irrelevant info in a state of panic

[nemolala]

do you reckon they will penalise us?

[REBORN]

Ah bro independent groups does not equal order effect. That's repeated measures.

ah SHIT

[james_blues]

damn why did i put PET scan

[spikey]

FML

[harlequinphoenix]

was the main confounding variable individual differences? I also threw in experimenter bias in desperation haha.

[REBORN]

I wrote different teachers (non standardised instructions and procedures) as well as differences in gender (unequal split female/male) and differences in intelligence.

[harlequinphoenix]

Oh yeah those are good ones snake I didnt even think of the teacher one fml. I did put in gender somewhere, but I think that was for generalisation.

oh well at least everyone thought it was shit. its a ranking after all. hopefully the cut off will be like 80 haha.

lol, i put that in aswell.

I was gonna write order effects but then i realised they were independent groups but then s/he still might be right 'cus they did a numeracy test twice?
