My research question would be "Does sitting in the same seat while taking notes throughout the semester and sitting in the same seat for every test correlate to a better test grade?" For this research I would do an experiment. I would take twenty people from an Anatomy class at Montana Tech. Ten of them would sit in the same seat all semester when taking notes and their test, while the other ten people would sit in a different seat every time they're taking notes and theirs tests. My hypothesis is that sitting in the same seat when taking notes and a test does not correlate to a better test score. This topic really interests me because I hear people talk about how all these superstitions for taking a test really work. I think that if my hypothesis were to be incorrect, it would be really cool knowing that this superstition really works.

  1. Kami this post caught my eye when posting discussion 4 for some reason. This would be extremely interesting to see if there is any correlation. I would guess it might have to do with the personality of the student. I am one of those people that do like the same seat. I guess it's where I feel comfortable and where I can settle in to my little piece of the room. I'd love to try it, but not sure that I'm ready to jeopardize my anatomy grade...ha ha. :)
