A. Write a paragraph that is at least four sentences long summarizing the study. Yes, spelling and grammar count.

page 309 of your textbook, and explained from p. 309–315.
D. If it is an experiment, discuss the treatment, and whether it had a control group. Also talk about whether it was
single-blind, double-blind or neither.

guidelines you described in part C.
