1. It would be a good idea to clearly state the research question(s). From there, we can work on defining the variable(s) of interest we may want to measure to answer the research question(s), which will lead to the statistical techniques we may want to use. Then the design and scope of the study can be created with these specified goals while taking into consideration any restrictions we may have. This was discussed in Tuesday's class, but it would be a good idea to make everything as concrete as possible before moving forward.

2. It is probably very likely that there will be students that "drop out" of the program. In this study, I believe that students that "drop out" from the study may be intrinsically different than students that choose to stay in the study (e.g. students that drop out of the study are less likely to try in school than those that do not). Therefore, the assumption that units drop out randomly will probably not hold in this study, and it would be wrong to base results on just the students that remained in the study. Careful consideration should be taken in order to retain as many students as possible in the study.
