Question…
Why have we covered at least 1 1/2 years worth of statistics in 2 class periods? BECAUSE WE’RE GRAD STUDENTS!! I just need to keep reminding myself that we are all a unique breed of students who have enough intelligence handed to us in the centerfold of our diploma case to help us conquer ANYTHING pertaining to new knowledge. I can do this. I will do this. I will understand the t tests, 1-2 tailed tests, and inferential stats and blahdy blah blah.
These lessons just solidified the notion that I will be conducting qualitative research and if I do include quantitative research, I will simplify it for the comprehension of a 2 year old. YAY ME! OH, I do understand the errors of research studies. FART
Join me after class and before the BBQ for a few drinks…. 
J,
Don’t sweat it too much. It’s not like we actually have to make a whole bunch of complicated calculations. We just have to know the difference between them all in order to tell the difference between a bad study/design and a good one.
