Hey guys, ====Welcome to our wiki space. This is a place I hope we can share the "love/workload" a little easier. ==== ←To move to a different page, click on the page name (Home, IRBform, ReferencesPage, ResearchNotes) on the right.
 * In class (2/24) we came up the research proposal about comparing the effectiveness using a vegetarian diet vs. using statins to reduce cholesterol.
 * Last Sat (2/19), Allison and I pulled together a reference list with articles. ** Look on the References page to see the list & attached articles ** . We have most of the articles but have both requested a few more articles.
 * Margo, et al pulled together a solid abstract to post online (2/25). Great job!
 * 3/1: I have put together the following information based on Dr. B's recent e-mails:
 * Group Project:
 * Research Day Presentation: **IF** we want to present our group project, we need to complete an IRB form & submit to GCSU **//after//** Dr. B reviews/approves..
 * Literature review for the Student Research Day: please know that your group is still going to conduct a research project. Your findings will be presented at the end of the semester (please see class calendar) to the whole class. Your presentation abstract was due last Friday (please send it to me asap, if you have not done so).
 * Personal Project
 * ALL of you need to complete the IRB form for your proposal due near the end of this semester. There will be an assignment drop box for it. The IRB form is a tool only. It outlines everything - from problem statement to sampling and even dissemination of findings. You do not need to submit it now but I encourage you to use it.
 * For personal research you should have already:
 * 1. Identified your topic
 * 2. Narrowed down at least 5 questions for your literature search
 * 3. Answered the questions, or part of it through your lit review
 * 4. Identified the gaps in the literature - what questions were not completely answered by the literature?
 * 5. Formulate research questions based on the gaps - that is why you want to do research - because you want to fill in one or two or three of those gaps.
 * This week you should: Design your study. How will you best answer your research questions? How will you make sure that your findings are valid and reliable?
