Hi All,
1. Am finding that am able to cover the full deck of slides and readings in some sections but not so in other sections. Have received some informal feedback also in this regard and am working on it.
For sections A and C, shall take an extra few minute (~3-4 minutes) of session 5's break time to go over the 'Errors in the research process' slide deck. Pls bring your session 4 reading alongwith.
2. In the interest of time-management, it may so happen occasionally that we speed along some sections of the slide deck and some Q&A interactions are perforce cut short. Pls know that there is no attempt or intent to duck or divert student Qs and comments on my part.
3. Admittedly, this is the first time I am attempting the use of CP and interactivity on this scale through both readings and CP-grading. Hence, there mayhap some missteps and stumbles. I think the AAs are doing a swell job. Every 3 sessions, CP instances will be released so that folks can see and know where they are at different points in the course. Invited and contributed material of substantive nature from students to the blog can also be counted as a CP-instance on some occasions.
4. Group formation remains locked now. Will not be revisited. I found commendable one group's decision to voluntarily disband rather than insist on opening up that process this late in the day.
5. There will be no Qualtrics tutorial session. Am happy to see that not one request for a tutorial l;anded at in my inbox. So I'm assuming all groups have this aspect under control.
Thanks and regards,
Sudhir

Hi Professor,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if order of questions can cause any form of bias. Also if we find 2 conflicting answers from the same person, how do we interpret it? Should we discard that person's survey results altogether or only qualify the findings?
Thanks
Puja
We've randomized order of answers within some questions. Sequence of Qs itself has a logic to it and shouldn't be changed too much, so we left it at that.
ReplyDeleteSome inconsistency etc can be expected in the typical respondent's answers, so there's nothing to be surprised about there. Usually, we try to keep the data that are usable and may not choose to include those questions that are invalid or unreliable.
Hope that helped.
