I'm teaching our advanced undergraduate research methods and am looking for textbook recommendations. The course is targeted at graduate-school bound psychology majors who have completed statistics. I'm looking for something that has both the basic undergraduate research methods content (e.g.,

Remember my rant about students not being able to tell which of two numbers (both between 0 and 1) is larger? Well look at this statement from one of my students: "The mean IQ of freshman at East Carolina Unviresity (N = 17, M = 107.65, SD = 9.95) was significantly "less" than that of

I know. Thinking, feeling, reflecting introspectively, writing a lot lately. But, it's not just that student who has really gotten into me or that I'm still feeling the gift he gave me. There's more that I'm not ready to talk about yet. But, still echoing in my soul are his words, "Y

So belief in God is needed to be a good teacher? Atheists can't teach well? I don't buy it--not for a second. And why? Basing morals/behavior on Biblical passages is a dicey endeavor, considering that while that book contains some potentially uplifting information, it's also filled w/atrocit

I love the Leary text - been using it for more than 15 years. It is clearly written and organized and has lots of good examples. It does have good coverage of factorial design and introduces the other topics you mention. It is not cheap - don't know what the competition costs though. http://www

Re: [tips] Dr, Oz's response to the flawed research on importance of organic produce

Joan-- The article you link to starts right off with a misstatement: it says: "Recent headlines blared that a new study had found that organic foods weren’t any healthier for you than conventional food." This has been a common criticism. In fact, the study was specifically limited to the nutr

Where did I say what you said I said? You're putting words into my mouth that I didn't utter. Basing morals/behavior on any theology, philosophy, and even science is dicey, for it depends on selective and subjective interpretation that can be used, misused, and/or abused. Heck, the perpetrato
