This project was a done as a demonstration of the importance of clear, concise methods writing. Each participant was instructed to create a figure displaying a spider web and its location. Once completed, a methods section was written and shared with another student in the class for the purpose of recreation. The student tasked with recreation did not see the original figure until submitting their version of it. For this paper, the figure was recreated relatively faithfully, but due to a number of missing details in the methods section, differences were observed. This demonstrated the importance of including any details within the methods section and the necessity of writing clearly and concisely. Eliminating as much room for error as possible is critical when synthesizing a proper methods section for empirical research.
