The initial data I collected was, in my view, a good practice round before collecting officially for the Final Research Project. Simply randomly generating between 15-100 paces, in retrospect is…
Design Reflections: Data Collection at Grenadier Pond
I did not have any significant difficulties implementing my sampling strategy. I measured out 5 transects (5 m each in length) at 5 different locations around my site of interest…

During my initial data collection in module 3, there were a few different takeaways I had during the experience. I used stratified sampling with five different quadrants to observe and…
Experimental design
Proceeding.with the plan to study height variation in the contorted-pod evening primrose. The following are the hypothesis/prediction: Hypothesis: The soil moisture and presence of other species of plants, around contorted-pod…
