Review of the Hypothesis
The Review of the Hypotheses section in chapter five is also an easy task. All that is needed is a restatement of the hypotheses that was presented in chapter three. Simply realist your hypotheses here. Begin with an introductory phrase like this “The null-hypotheses posed for testing in the study are listed below.”
Review of the Methods
The review of the methods section of the fifth chapter should be two to three pages in length. In essence, this two to three page section is a summary of the methods chapter of the project. You might begin by completing the following sentence: “The subjects used in the study…..”
Make sure that you cover the following points:
- How many subjects were used;
- How were they divided into groups;
- With what and by whom were the subject tested; and
- What were the levels of the independent variables. (Stated another way, what did the experimental subjects participate in that the controls did not?)
Summary of the Hypothesis
The summary of the hypotheses section of the fifth chapter should present an analysis of the null hypotheses of the study. For each Hypothesis you should:
- Summarize the hypothesis;
- Present the data relative to the hypothesis (a brief summary of the relevant information taken from chapter four);
- Draw a conclusion about the hypothesis (was it rejected or not?); and
- Present a one to two sentence statement of your conclusions.
Typically, the summary of each hypothesis is 1/ 2 to one page in length.
