Application of the Scientific Method
Project description
Assignment One:
The scientific method is useful in problem solving and decision-making in a wide variety of fields. In this assignment, you will demonstrate how to
use the scientific method to make decisions and solve problems in your field of study (Criminal Justice/Forensics) or everyday life.
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
(1) Explain the scientific method and describe the overall manner in which you would apply it in your field of study (Criminal Justice/Forensics) or
everyday life.
(2) Identify a specific problem often faced in your field of study or everyday life. Research your problem and assess your data/research. Examples of
such problems could be:
–>Criminal Justice: The reliability of eyewitness testimony, or determining what evidence is revealing to you about the crime; –>Everyday life:
Selecting a particular brand of detergent or Determining the most cost efficient transportation/ route for your commute.
(3) Propose one (1) testable hypothesis to explain/solve the problem. State the expected outcomes of your actions and include criteria for
determining whether or not these actions would succeed. NOTE: Your hypothesis should be stated very precisely.
(4) Describe the main actions that you intend to put into place to test your hypothesis that you proposed in Question 3. Describe the way in which
you would evaluate the success of your program. Include the results that you would deem as a success and the results that would be considered a
failure.
(5) Discuss the wisdom behind the strategy you used to test the hypothesis from Question 4, and describe the additional steps you might take
depending on the results of your test. NOTE: These additional steps might be to revise your original hypothesis(if your results were unsatisfactory)
or to propose new hypotheses. The goal is to continuously improve your unstinting of the factors influencing your outcomes, to be able to achieve
greater results over time.
(6) Use at least three (3) quality resources/references in this assignment. NOTE: The body of the paper must have in-text citations that correspond
to the references. Integrate all sources into your paper using proper techniques of quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, along with proper use of
in-text citations to credit your sources.
Your report must follow these formatting requirements:
(1) Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
(2) Include a cover pager containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
