read the Kruger and Dunning (1999) (see attached) : Kruger and Dunning Study .pdf
Next listen to this short  audio clip from the NPR Podcast This American Life Act Two Ignorance for DummiesLinks (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/585/in-defense-of-ignorance/act-two-8). it may help make the steps and process of the study clearer. Please note that this is an entertainment podcast so it may have some bias that you would not want in research manuscripts but I thought it was helpful to hear the background and process explained. 
Next, please answer the following: 1.) Based on these materials, summarize the stages of the research process as outlined in Chapter 1  Figure 1.2 from initial observation to analyzing the data. Be sure to include each state in the figure and include some of the hypotheses and variables tested. How easy or difficult was the research process to follow in this study? 2.) Evaluate the charts and figures used in the article to present the data. Are they clear? Do they convey the information well?  do you have any further suggestions on best presenting the data?
