Audience: Students

A collage student has many things to worry about. At UCSD there are midterms every other day. Some dont have time to sleep or even eat because of the rigourous currriculum. With so much on students' plates, some do not have any time to engage in social activities and move up the social ladder. Wouldnt it be great if there was just a formula to become ''cool'' in several easy steps. In fact, there is such a formula and it is called the scientific method. The scientific method is originally designed for implimentation of scientific research but with some slight modifications it can also be taylored to meet the needs of many socialy uncool students.

Audience: Parents

When observing collage students it may seem that there is far too much fun occuring and not enough studying happening. Students who desire to climb the social ladder seem to waste their time with pointless activities and tasks. But what if for some students, the time spent gaining friends was not only benifical socially but also had educational value. This is precisely what is occuring when students implement the scientific method in order to become more ''cool''. The steps of the method includes background research, devising hypothesis', performing experiments and analyzing data. Although all of this work is done with the goal of gaining more friends, the concepts of the scientific method are being utilized and undoubtedly will be naturally be learned and transered to the base of knowledge needed to perform academic research.
