🛠️ Method Plan with Evidence Rules

Small groups draft a one-page investigation method that names the dataset source, variable definitions, tools for graphing, candidate function forms, and the evidence they will use to judge fit, including quick plots and residual checks. The instructor gives just-in-time modeling guidance on choosing between linear and exponential comparisons and on when logarithms may help analyze a relationship. Groups prepare their plan in a shared document that will guide Phase 3 data collection.
