I could not agree more. Great thought!. Frankly, I'm a hitchhiker in the galaxy looking for the universal thruth that can only be found with failure. The great thinkers have had great thoughts but have been preceeded with great failures. My advice is to publish what you have and then go back and apply the lessons of your failure.

You know, one great thing about research is that it's all partial; that's why that section exists to discuss methodology and why that section exists to discuss the results. I was always taught that even research that presented "flawed data" was good because it got done. Write it up and send it out and suggest that researchers attempting to replicate the study do a few things differently. I'd love to see the article; I'll bet that you'll identify some concerns that others would invest in extending the research to test for themselves. :-D.

Deanya, Great points. I often wonder if there is such a thing as good data.
I've got two classes that I'm thinking of comparing. One class meets Monday-Wednesday and the other Tuesday-Thursday. Both are at the same time. I think the student population is about the same. I did not do a pre-test and agree with you that should be done before an intervention.
Darn. There goes a good idea for a paper. Charlie
