Experimental Research versus Case Study- Experimental research on the impact of marijuana (presuming it is legal) on GPA

Instructions

Using the experimental method and one descriptive method (remember we discussed SEVERAL methods in class), describe in detail how you might address the impact of marijuana (presuming it is legal) on GPA (grade-point average).

Compare and contrast the two different research methods you might use and how each would try to examine the relationship between marijuana and GPA. Make sure you include the strengths and weakness of each research method you have chosen.

Answer preview

The impact of marijuana on student’s affairs falls directly under social lives but later translates in to their academic output. This habit directly affects the capacity of a person (student) to perform to their best in life. The substance changes the course of action in the body by manipulating a person’s mental capacity and delivery of duties. Therefore, to understand the impact of this substance a study done using an experiment can present data in a way that will affirm that it has negative or positive effects on the students and finally their GPA.
