Tuesday, October 25th

Hello all, Following is a recap of last Thursday's class.
1.) Modes of Administration
2.) Types of non-probability sampling
3.) Types of (probability) sampling methods
4.) Deficiencies in a sample frame
5.) Sampling from periodicity
6.) Some Basic Concepts

For discussion, I would like you to walk through the basic concepts we discussed in sampling. First, come up with a research question or hypothesis. Then, state what is your (a) target population, (b) your survey population, and (c) what you would use for your sampling frame.

October 10- 17

First, grades for the class research project are posted online.
It's been some time, but here is a review of what we have been covering in class;
1.) Spurious Relationships
2.) Critical value tables
3.) significantt Testing
4.) Independent Samples t-test
5.) Between samples t-test
6.) Errors in hypothesis testing
7.) Alternative hypothesis
8.) Anova

For posting this week, I would like you to develop a hypothesis that can be tested from ANOVA. Make sure you have two independent variables that you suspect may have an interaction effect on your dependent variable.

Individual Meetings

Hello Class, we will use this blog posting to sign-up for individual meetings. In lieu of class on Thursday, I would like to meet with everybody individually to go over the research project assignment. Please come with your assignment completed. Each meeting should not exceed 10 minutes. Times available for meetings will be on Wednesday (11 am- 6pm), and Thursday (10 am - 8pm). In your postings, please indicate your name, section number, and time you would like to meet. Be sure to check that another student has not already selected that time slot (first come fist serve). Sign up for sessions on the 10s (i.e. 10:00, 10:10, 10:20, 10:30, etc.). See everybody Tuesday.
