n the Data Collection Discussion in Unit 1, collect the data that students provided for Variable 1, Variable 2, and Variable 3. Build an Excel file with two columns. Column 1 will be labeled Group # and will use the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Column 2 will be labeled Score and will use the values provided for Variable 1, Variable 2, and Variable 3.
For example, if in the Data Collection Discussion the student wrote Variable 1 = 289, Variable 2 = 297, and Variable 3 = 346, your Excel columns would look like this:

Continue adding all the values provided by the other students for Variables 1, 2, and 3. Be sure to group the variables together, so that all values for Group 1 are together and all values for Group 2 are together, etc. Here is an example of what your completed Excel spreadsheet would look like, but with different data and fewer values than you will have:

As an administrator to a health education program, you suspect that pairing first-year students with third-year students will help improve their end-of-year evaluations. To test your hypothesis, you develop a mentoring program that has three groups. Group 1 will be the control. Group 2 will meet in person weekly. Group 3 will keep in touch using social media and texting.
