Student Project System

At Research Lab Club, members design and carry out projects in two main formats:

Correlational Research (CR)

Begin by exploring relationships between variables through surveys, observations, or existing data. This stage helps members practice forming hypotheses, collecting data, and analyzing results.
"Ex. Does study time correlate with stress level?"

Experimental Research (ER)

Build on your skills by designing controlled experiments to test cause-and-effect. This allows deeper exploration of research questions and stronger methodological training.
"Ex. Does mindfulness training reduce stress compared to no training?"

📅 Quarter Structure

Every quarter, members can choose either CR or ER as their project type.
Students who started with CR in a previous quarter have two options:
1. Dive Deeper → Continue the same topic and transform it into an ER project.
2. Start Fresh → Begin a new research project (CR or ER).

📜 Certificate of Completion

Upon successful completion of each research project, members will be awarded an official Certificate of Completion from the Research Lab Club, recognizing their effort, contribution, and academic achievement.

To be eligible for the certificate, members must:

1. Join the meetings regularly.

2. Take part in the project work and contribute in some way.

3. Share their project results at the final presentation or workshop.

4. Submit the final project deliverable (presentation, report, or equivalent) by the deadline.

5. Adhere to ethical research standards, including honesty in data handling and respectful collaboration.
