Statistically Significant Poem
by Matt Cooke

Studying statistics oh so serene,
from standard deviation to median and mean.
Looking at scatter plots has become an obsession,
just trying to find that line of regression.
Z tests and t tests, never know when you'll need 'em,
but don't forget to determine the degrees of freedom.
Analysis of Variance is not like the rest,
along with it may come a post hoc test.

 

Observational Research
by Trista Jolly

When conducting research try observing
It's less costly and time consuming

You can do undisguised
It's like open eyes

You can do nonparticipation
In which the researcher does not take part in the situation

You can do disguised
It's like closed eyes

Or you can do participation
In which the researcher actively takes part in the situation

Naturalistic observation can be costly
Especially in studies like those of Goodall and Fossey

Observation is the way to go
With so many choices you can't say no!
