Aim for 8–10 sources. Group them by theme, not by paper — and end with the gap your study fills.
Learning Hub, module 3 — 12 min.
Friday check-in with Dr Wong.
Use the TWC template; attach the consent form.
One sentence, then check it with the FINER criteria.
Start from your research question: a survey measures how common something is; interviews show why and how people experience it.
Add Cramér's V for the effect size, and report N inside the brackets: χ²(2, N = 120) = 7.41, p = .025.
Check it against FINER — feasible, interesting, novel, ethical and relevant — then make every key word measurable.
Snowball sampling suits hard-to-reach groups such as carers; start from a few purposively chosen participants.
A good research question is focused, researchable and worth answering. Start broad, then narrow it down.

Added the PRISMA flow diagram to Files. Can someone double-check the screening numbers?
I'll review the literature review by Friday. Keep your search dates in the methods section.
Thanks! I'll update the search terms tonight.
My output shows χ²(2) = 7.41, p = .025 — not sure about the effect size part…
Recruiting carers of older adults — hard to reach. Has anyone combined both?
Sharing my template — columns for aim, method, sample, key finding, gap.
I-Cap supports students through every stage of a research project — learning the methods, planning with supervisors, practising through games, and getting help from Aria.
Aim for 8–10 sources. Group them by theme, not by paper — and end with the gap your study fills.
Give the task a title.
Sampling is how you choose who takes part in your study.
In probability sampling, everyone has a known chance of being chosen: simple random, stratified, cluster.
Non-probability sampling is chosen by the researcher: convenience, purposive, snowball.
Choose by your question. To generalise, use probability; to explore, purposive is often right.
My output shows χ²(2) = 7.41, p = .025 — not sure about the effect size part. Do I need Cramér's V?
Yes — add Cramér's V. APA style: χ²(2, N = 120) = 7.41, p = .025, V = .25. Report N inside the brackets.
The Learning Hub SPSS module, lesson 6, has a worked example of exactly this.
Perfect, thank you both! 🙏
Booked room 3 again for Wednesday — bring snacks 🍪
Anyone else getting a "string variable" error in Recode into Different Variables? 🤔
Open Variable View and set Type to Numeric first — then the recode works.
Reminder: SPSS licence renewals close on Friday. Request yours through the IT helpdesk.
