Week #3 - Post #3

I think the systematic approach introduced in the chapter is extremely worthwhile. It is so interesting to see the balance and play between each element which is present. As a psychology major, I have learned quite a lot about confounds, and how they can affect the results of an experiment. The situation, goals, and instruments, all have their individual aspects, and can affect one another as well. The systematic approach takes that into consideration, and that is why I find it one of the most appealing approaches in communications. The other approaches seem a bit loose, and not very scientific or objective.
