Module 4 – Case

HYPOTHESIS 4 (IF THERE IS ANOTHER KEY EFFECT ON DV/S; IF NOT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN IVS OR MODERATION EFFECTS)
Assignment Overview
This case assignment focuses on hypothesis 4. The convention is that you start with the key effect on your DV (the right side of the model), and

move your way to the left side in future modules. This hypothesis can be based on two sources of data: (1) overarching theories which have been

applied in other or similar contexts, and now you adapt them to your specific context; or (2) existing studies which showed such or similar

effects, but did not anchor them in theory. If the latter is the case, you should theorize, using your own logic, why you expect such an effect.

Regardless, you should first find the relevant literature (SLP), and synthesize it (case).

Assignment Overview
Please read and reflect on the papers you identified in the SLP assignment, and synthesize them to produce the text leading to hypothesis 4.

Follow a structure you have seen in one or more of the published research papers you reviewed. Conclude this section with the hypothesis

statement.

Please organize your paper in a scholarly way. Add section titles when necessary. Explain your logic and when appropriate, use external sources

and use proper citations.
The paper is usually between 2 and 10 pages long.
Assignment Expectations
Able to understand the key themes in your reading list.
Able to effectively and efficiently synthesize the reading materials.
Write the text leading to the hypothesis with clarity, depth and critical thinking.
Completeness and coherence: Chain of thought is easy to follow.
Collected relevant evidences and consulted additional papers/resources to support the propositions.
Paper is clearly written with appropriate format. Reference list is complete. Citation is properly done.

assignment requires you to watch the four clips in a short video that demonstrates each area of the Johari Window. Critically apply the descriptions

of each area to the scene taking place in the film. Full knowledge of the film is not needed in order to apply the framework to the scene. Please

notice that in the video each area is stated as Open Self (Open Area), Hidden Self (Hidden Area), Blind Self (Blind Area), and Unknown Self (Unknown

Downtown Restaurant, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is looking to establish a web presence. The restaurant is a new start-up restaurant that will be

opening in the next two months. After investigating all of the local web development companies in the Atlanta area, the owners Peggy Smith and Michael

Brown, have contracted you to develop this website.

The owners would like a website (4 page minimum/6 page maximum) to advertise their restaurant. You must select the type of markup, design, architecture,

and content that is appropriate for Downtown Restaurant. You will be expected to demonstrate what you have learned in PRG111, 249, and 250 in the site

that you design. The web site that you create should be useful, usable, well designed, cleanly marked up, contain significant content, and be targeted

to the specific audience.

Website Requirements
While the goal of this project to be creative and practice your web design/development skills, there are a few minimum requirements that the website has

to have:

At least four pages but no more than six pages
At least six images used throughout the website (remember to include proper alt tags and copyright free images)
Standard navigation scheme
Incorporate an external style sheet (internal or inline styles can be used as well)
One form
One page must integrate JavaScript. This can be accomplished through an image rollover, image slide show, or even have a alert box for form validation.

Complete the following steps:

Step #1: The tester (you) welcomes the users and introduces them to the website that they will be testing.

Step #2: You should develop 4 or more scenarios (e.g., find the phone number of the restaurant, price of a particular menu item, etc.). The tester

introduces the scenario and questions the users as they work through the task. The tester should ask the users to indicate when they are in doubt,

confused, or frustrated. Then as the tester is trying to find the answer, observe what they are doing. How did the users navigate the website to find

the answer? How long did it take the users to answer the question?

Step #3: Write a brief report (2-3 pages) on the finding based on the 4 or more scenarios you created. What needs to be changed on your website? What

doubts, confusions, or frustrations did the users experience? Do you plan on changing any part of the current website?
