For years we did not teach Personality, as I hated my Theories of Personality
course as a youngster (all fluff and unsupported theories). However, I
discovered Derlea, Winstead and Jones' Personality: Contemporary Theory &
Research, and I've been teaching it as a research-based class ever since
I agree with all these comments. One additional point; I always use the table
to point out that as N approaches infinity, the t distribution approaches
normality (since I’ve already hammered on z=1.96 for a two-tailed normal
distribution cut off of .05).
