For this Discussion, you will work a bit backwards: you will be given a design and then determine the research question that would be appropriate to the design. By looking at the design from both ends, you will learn this vital concept in more depth than if you had only approached it in one way.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Read the Campbell and Stanley text, paying particular attention to the design that your instructor has assigned you.

A brief description of the design and where it is most appropriately used
The assumptions for the design
The strengths and weaknesses of the design and the threats to internal and external validity.
