PSYC3070: Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

Scholars,

I hope this news make you a little sad… I’m going to not meet synchronously in lab this week. But your dedication to science is appreciated and I am about to make some readings available to you that will help you understand hypothesis testing even better!

I have some responsibilities that I need to take care of  tomorrow afternoon and I think we are a bit ahead of the curve thanks to our lab time, so start reading these articles:  This list is a work in progress and I will be updating it this morning. Your presentations will also involve these readings.

Please take the time you have set aside for this lab and begin reading these articles. They are written at many different levels, look through them and find a place to begin that you feel comfortable with.

I’ll see the TTr class at 9:35 to introduce independent sample t-tests.

Best, Chuck

Scholars,

As usual posters and presentation work for SEPA is running behind. I am making the following virtual assignments for tomorrow. Take these seriously and I think you’ll be ahead of the game when I get back and return to my endless babbling about distributions and such…

I have four articles on reserve in the library. I hope at least one will resonate with you.
