Dr. Greene is planning to study methods to increase vocabulary levels in college students, using competition. Students will comp
lete forms to agree to participation in the study. He will use the teaching methods designed in the new program. He will then regularly test the students to see how much, if any, their vocabulary level increases. Students will compete against each other for prizes in the classroom. Students will not be allowed to stop the program once they start it. Student scores will be posted in the classroom with their names, to foster greater competition between them.
