Need data?

If your data are not yet available to you, and you need data to complete the Research Question Examination due next week, send me an email listing the following information:

1. How many predictor variables you have.
2. How many outcome variables you have.
3. Whether your predictor variable is categorical or continuous (and if categorical, with how many levels).
4. Whether your outcome variable is categorical or continuous (and if categorical, with how many levels).


(I am assuming that if you have no predictor or outcome variables per se [i.e., you know you are running a correlation] that you will be able to indicate this.)

organization tip

I just wanted to share an organization tip from when I wrote my undergraduate thesis. I made an index card file for all my sources, from websites to articles (of course!) and books. On one side, I had the citation in APA format for ease of transferring them into my reference list and on the other side, I had the abstract to know what the article/book was about. I also color-coded the cards (just by using different color pencils for dots) depending on the topic of the article. I also had a file box for sources that I had printed/xeroxed that used the same colors so that it'd be easy to find the index card and then locate the article. It took me a while to continually update my box of cards, but in the end, I had a much easier time finding the sources to what I had read over the course of the lit review. I hope that helps!
