Walk-in Advising Fall 2011: No Appointment Necessary
I am continuing with my practice of posting open advising times and advising students on a "first come, first served" basis. No need to book an appointment, just show up during one of the times listed and we'll chat about your schedule.
Advising is best done a few days before you are scheduled to enroll.
When you arrive if there is already someone in my office, (at my table in the MUC) make yourself known. Advising for most students is enhanced when 2-3 student are being advised at the same time. Often one student will ask a question or bring up an issue where the answer benefits another student.
Remember to bring a copy of your Webadvisor program of study.
I have created an advising worksheet to help you prepare for our meeting.
A list of general education requirements is available.
A narrative accompanying the gen ed requirements is available.

Teaching and
research. My primary teaching
is in the area of research methods and statistics as they apply to
psychology. I teach
a range of courses

My research interests are primarily congruent with my teaching
activities. See my current projects section for more

I am
interested in a variety of
methodological and statistical questions especially as they relate to
psychological research. I am currently focusing on modeling as an
alternative
to null hypothesis testing and on the interpretation of interactions in
Analysis of Variance.
I also have
some interest in
Human-Computer Interaction, but am not currently active in this line of
research.
Finally, I
have an ongoing interest in
regression methods appropriate for data in which both predictor and
response
variables are measured with error. Combine this with my interest in
modeling as
an alternative to null hypothesis testing and my interest in Structural
Equation Modeling is easy to understand.
