1Well, we need to settle on a method for the psychology experiment before Friday's tutorial.
2I have been reading about two options, the lab based test and the natural observation.
3The lab test gives us more control, but the setting might feel artificial to participants.
4True, whereas observation is realistic, although we cannot isolate any single variable properly.
5Doctor Ahmed suggested we could combine both, starting with observation, then a short experiment.
6That sounds ambitious. Do we honestly have time to run two stages in three weeks?
7Actually, you are right. Let us keep it simple and just do the lab test.
8Fine. We still need ethical approval forms signed before we can recruit anyone, though.
9I downloaded them yesterday; there are three forms, not two as we thought.
10Okay, I will fill those in tonight. How many participants are we aiming for?
11Thirty ideally, but twenty five would still be acceptable according to the handbook.
12Right, I will advertise on the faculty noticeboard and in the student newsletter too.
