Assignment:
Think of a simple topic that can be studied longitudinally. (Remember you need a topic that deals with changes that occur over some period of time. For instance, how often do students change jobs or careers after they graduate from college? You can only use this topic if no one else has used it in the discussion forum so far.) Which type of longitudinal study design would you recommend for this topic and why? What makes this the preferred design? If this design were not feasible for some reason, what would be your second choice for a study design and why?
