For the final part of this first week discussion, I want you to discuss this film clip. What was wrong with the Ghostbusters ESP experiment and how could it be improved to meet scientific standards? Specifically, try to identify three things: the hypothesis, the independent variable (the variable the researcher manipulated), and the dependent variable (the variable the researcher measured). Make sure each person in your group responds at least once, though I encourage you to respond multiple times as you engage in a group discussion.
