Welcome to Randomization!

Randomization in Experimental Design is a 15 minute interactive session for your lab or working group. It will introduce some common problems in study design and help you learn the thought processes behind why scientists randomize their experiments.

What’s inside:

• Introductory content in experimental design with an emphasis on randomization. 
• A group exercise where participants examine the parameters of a study in order to explore how randomization addresses limitations in experimental design.

How to use:

• Press the F key to make the presentation fullscreen. Press the escape key to return to normal view. 
• Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate between slides.
• The activity How Do I Know It Is Real? works by assigning participants to a variable and prompting them to assess how that variable appears in a dummy data set. Give participants plenty of time to discuss their different experiences.
