#Teaching quant #methods, part of masters prgrm for experienced leaders. After intro to significance testing, regression, and t-tests, I want them to work in groups reading #research articles, interpreting results, and presenting them to each other.

Does anyone know good papers based on t-tests or regressions, (i.e. no multilevel or SEM), about tangible approachable effects for this group (e.g. «leadership» on «motivation», not chemical processes or med. treat.), and pref OA? #AcademicChatter

"Woodstock, August 29, 1952. 4'33" by John Cage "sounds" for the first time. Or rather: nothing sounded, because the composition consists of nothing but - silence! And that silence is not silent at all - Cage has brilliantly proven that with this provocation!"

What is the meaning of #this in #Java?

"In Java, the this #keyword refers to the current #object. It is used to refer to the instance #variables and #methods of the current object from within the object's own methods.

Here is an example of how this is used in Java:

public class Person {
private String name;
private int age;

public Person(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
} ... } ...

#Survey #researchers, what is your go-to opener for getting random people in person to stop walking and take 3 minutes to fill out your #questionnaire?

Yes-no question like "excuse me, do you know about..."?
Open ended question like "excuse me, what do you think about..."?
Small talk like, "pretty hot today, eh"?

I wish there was more absolutely beginner friendly content for #coding. I've just started learning, and only know the super basics, like #strings, #methods, #operations, how to print, how to assign values, and how to comment. But I see cool content talking about how to do something or having inside jokes about something that is currently beyond me. I know I know, I just need to catch up, but I wanna be memeing and socializing about it now.
