Critical Consumption of Research

One of my main goals as a professor of research methods (specifically with my practitioner students) is to make sure they are equipped to critically analyze research articles they come across, whether in the media or at work. So you can imagine my excitement when a friend shared this John Oliver video on Scientific Studies. Enjoy!

Survey Formatting

My students are often asked to create surveys for workplace data collection efforts. In my classes I try to impress upon them that it's not so easy to do and that there must be lots of thought put into every aspect of survey planning, development/design and implementation. I just saw this post on my favorite data visualization expert's blog about survey formatting. As basic as these sound, they are so very important!
