25 March

We had our first live Zoom meeting to get ideas about running the class remotely.  We decided that, starting next week, we will have live Zoom class meetings M and W at class time (see below).  Those who want another time for meetings should comment on the Discussion thread in BbL.

 

There are now several discussion threads in BbL.  You may post questions and answer one-another’s questions.

 

 

27 March

10:30 Live Zoom (class time)

 

Prepare in advance by taking the 2 active quizzes and studying BbL-posted video (Links to lectures) of :

 

(i) 3rd variables/correlations,

(ii) controls,

(iii) the Monty Python penguin video and

(iv) the short video interpreting the penguin video.

Combined, these are 50 minutes of viewing time, although longer if you actually study them.

This material is from book chapters 18, 19, which you should go over afterwards. Some of it was covered while we were still meeting in class.

Weekend:  Get caught up over the weekend by watching all videos on correlations, 3rd variables and controls (including Monty Python penguin sketch). These videos are under Links to Lecture on BbLearn, and they are identified in the title with ‘watch dates.’  Complete the personality survey (under quizzes on BbLearn).  Just before lecture on Monday, watch the 28min lecture video on Experiments (general)
