MP2 Feedback

  • Overall Writing
    • Improve scientific tone by reducing narrative
    • Grammar issues
    • Finding the right level of hedging in your language
  • Introduction section
    • Be sure you introduction gives brief reference to your factors and their levels enough for me to understand your hypotheses. Hypotheses should cover all levels of your factors.
  • Method section
    • Be sure to mention random assignment.
    • Include images or vingettes, if relevant.
    • Be specific about your response variable questions.
    • Most everyone needed more description in their their method section. A person brand new to your study should be able to replicate it.
  • Results and Statistical writing
    • Integrating statistical information into your text, (two to three decimal places only, p < .001 please). Your statistical information should be used to tell a coherent, accurate, story/description of your results. Move away from listing results.
    • Do not include information about data cleaning. Do not tell me anything about your downloading the data.
  • Your conclusion should actually discuss your results, especially if they are counter to your hypotheses. No, your results are not “obvious.”
