Yes, we ll use the computational formulas, but I ll give you a bit of the bigger picture of what the analysis is doing and how it fits in with research. The good news is that today we use computer statistical packages to analyze the data for us. An inexpensive statistical calculator can make that process much easier. My emphasis is on deciding which statistic to use and determining what the stat package printout tells us. In other words, the emphasis is on decision making skills and interpretation what to do and what it all means.
Communication is a key to doing well.
This communication needs to flow from you to me and the course manager. The nature of the course requires daily attention to facilitate understanding. Email is the best way to contact us so that we can answer your questions in a timely manner. You need to understand each concept before moving on to the next one. Don't wait to the night before a test and expect to be able to absorb the content.
