Overview
Learning is an ongoing process. In this assignment, you will start by checking your knowledge of experimental design by completing a worksheet and checking your answers. However, the point of the assignment is not simply to complete the worksheet, but to use the worksheet as a way of identifying what you know, what you are still learning, and what questions you need answered in order to learn the material.Instructions
