The idea is to direct students through a logic selection procedure until they find an appropriate method. They will also be able to conduct the analysis by following examples. Targeted research questionsAs a supplementary tool for the course, the system is specifically designed to investigate the questions on one variable or on impact of one(set of) variables on another variable. Questions that care about other domains have not been covered.
