Re: Experimental Design B/C
Experimental Design has been in the morning on one occasion in the past, in 2017 (and will be there again this year).dxu46 wrote:IIRC, and according to my sister who did expd at nats for 5 years, expd didn't use to be in the morning because she also did disease, which has always been at 7.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Wait, is it new that Experimental Design is in the at-the-beginning-of-the-competition time block (same block as Disease Detectives)?

Re: Experimental Design B/C
I believe up until the Quantitative Data section is the first half and then after 20 minutes they'll give you the Graphs and everything after that section. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, too lazy to look at rules right now.Ruby wrote:I was just wondering what the "halfway" cut off for the checklist was. Does anyone know?

That's right. If you use a standard writer + 2 experiment runners setup, you might have the writer help with the experiment.Anomaly wrote:I believe up until the Quantitative Data section is the first half and then after 20 minutes they'll give you the Graphs and everything after that section.

Re: Experimental Design B/C
So the scoring packet here: https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... 101018.pdf
1.) Is analysis really only half a page?
2.) is procedure really only half a page?
I didn't see where in the rules it says we can ask for more paper during the event.
So yeah......

Not every proctor follows this form. Plus, the rules don't say you can't ask for more paper. I think most proctors would be pretty lenient, because some people have larger handwriting or more to write.Ender1982 wrote:So the scoring packet here: https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... 101018.pdf

Re: Experimental Design B/C
They're more like guidelines (if you're writing many many pages, then you're probably doing something wrong, same if you only write a sentence.)Ender1982 wrote:So the scoring packet here: https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... 101018.pdf

Re: Experimental Design B/C
I think that procedure shouldn't take longer than that unless you're doing a complex experiment. You may want to extend diagrams up to the E section, or on the back.dxu46 wrote:They're more like guidelines (if you're writing many many pages, then you're probably doing something wrong, same if you only write a sentence.)Ender1982 wrote:So the scoring packet here: https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... 101018.pdf

In general, you should be able to ask for more paper, or use the back of the page they give.
