· The Final Exam will occur tomorrow, Tuesday, 6/8/2010 from 8:30 - 10:30. It will cover all lectures given in the course. It will cover textbook Chapters 10-16, along with the Loftus article that is still downloadable from here.
· Exam #5 will occur Wednesday, 6/2/2010 from 8:30 - 10:30. It will cover the lectures given on 5/17, 5/24, and 5/26. It will cover textbook Chapter 14 from p. 460 through the end of the chapter, Chapter 15, and Chapter 16. You won't be responsible for anything in the Loftus article for Exam 5; however, nothing in that article should be particularly unfamiliar to you, and I will hold you responsible for its general ideas for the Final Exam.
· Because of this year's schedule, there won't be any lecture next week, so there's no final HW.
· A month or so ago, I was asked to write some "personal reflections" about statistics by a author in England for a textbook that she's publishing. I thought you might be interested in what I wrote, which can be downloaded from here.
· Additional correlation problems which may be picked up here.
· Chapter 15: 1, 3, 11, 13b-c, 14, 16, 22 (problem 8 only), 23 (problem 1 only), 24 (problem 1 only), 25 (problem 1 only)
· Chapter 16: 1, 7, 8, 9
· I made a mis-computation on Exam-4, Problem 1. The two assumed sums of squared values provided on p. 3 should have been: 984,225 for Sum (xijk2) and 4,916,125 for Sum (Tjk2). The two values that were actually on Exam 4 wreaked havoc for anyone trying to compute sum of squares from the actual column totals.
· For this, we apologize, and everyone will receive full credit (50 points) for Problem 1. Please make sure you give your exam to your TA for a re-grading if you haven't done so already.
· Chapter 15, pp. 494 - end of chapter.
· Chapter 16.
· NOTE: There was a problem with Exam 4, Problem 1. We will do something about it to eliminate unfairness, but we haven't yet figured out quite what.
· Chapter 1
· Loftus article which can be picked up from here.
· Exam #4 will occur Wednesday, 5/19/2010 from 8:30 - 10:30. It will cover the lectures given on 5/3, 5/10, and 5/12. It will cover textbook Chapter 13 from p. 413 through the end of the chapter and Chapter 14 through p. 460.
· There are two worksheets: "Subjects as Random Effect" and "Subjects as Fixed Effect." For either sheet...
· You can play with the spreadsheet by entering values for the various s's in the white section near the upper left.
· Green sections generally refer to the underlying mathematical model that is used to generate data
· Purple and blue sections are data: purple for the raw data and blue sections for various totals.
· Dark gray section at the lower left is for the ANOVA.
· Play with the downloaded spreadsheet.
· Chapter 14: p. 461 through the end of the chapter.
· Chapter 15 through p. 479
· Chapter 13: 11, 12
· Chapter 14: 1, 2, 3, 7a. For problems 2 and 3, compute 95% confidence intervals around the Pearson r and the Pearson r-squared. NOTE: As indicated in the errata sheet, the book section on confidence intervals around Pearson r's (p. 460) is wrong and you should cross it out. I'll go over the correct method in class before the relevant HW problems are due. You should also download a handout about the correct method from here.
· Chapter 13: 11, 12
· Chapter 14: 1, 2, 3, 7. For problems 2 and 3, compute 95% confidence intervals around the Pearson r and the Pearson r-squared. NOTE: As indicated in the errata sheet, the book section on confidence intervals around Pearson r's (p. 460) is wrong and you should cross it out. I'll go over the correct method in class before the relevant HW problems are due. You should also download a handout about the correct method from here.
· Review Text Chapter 14 section on Expected Mean Squares
· Text Chapter 14. NOTE: Please remember from your errata sheet to cross out the textbook section on p. 460 on confidence intervals. That information is incorrect, and the correct method is provided on a handout here.
· Text Chapter 13, particularly pp. 418 through the end of the chapter.
· Text Chapter 14, through p. 452. NOTE: Although it probably won't be relevant to Monday's lecture, please remember from your errata sheet to cross out the textbook section on p. 460 on confidence intervals. That information is incorrect, and the correct method is provided on a handout here.
· Leanne is in the ER with a back issue, so she won't be able to hold her 12:00 - 1:30 office hours today. We will try to find someone to fill in.
· Exam #3 will occur Wednesday, 5/5/2010 from 8:30 - 10:30. It will cover the lectures given on 4/19, 4/26, and 4/28. It will cover textbook Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 through p. 412.
· Text Chapter 13, particularly pp. 413 through the end of the chapter.
· Chapter 12: 1c-f, 2b, 8acd, 9, 10, 11
· Chapter 13: Chapter 13: 1, 4, 9 (NOTE: for Part e, the deviations should be: subj 1 add 1.0; subj 2 add 2.0; subj 3 leave alone; subj 4 subtract 3.0). NOTE: When asked for confidence intervals, plot the "within-subjects" confidence intervals described in class today. You should, however, know how to do the "real" confidence intervals that were also discussed in class.
· Chapter 12: 1c-f, 2b, 8acd, 9, 10, 11
· Chapter 13: Chapter 13: 1, 4, 5, 9 (NOTE: for Part e, the deviations should be: subj 1 add 1.0; subj 2 add 2.0; subj 3 leave alone; subj 4 subtract 3.0), 11, 12

I can take a maximum of 4 people as undergraduate TAs for this class next year.
If you will be here for both Winter and Spring quarters of 2011, and you are interested in being an undergraduate TA for this class, please come by and see me. Feel free to call or email me to set up an appointment.
Important things to know are these.
· Class times and the class structure will be the same next year as it is this year.
· Skills for being an undergraduate TA include both understanding the class materials and being able to explain them to others.
· Undergraduate TAs are expected to attend all class lectures, hold their own section, hold 3 hours a week of office hours, grade their section's homework, and help grade exams.
· Although it's a lot of work, being an undergraduate TA has a number of advantages: you learn the materials much better, you develop skill as an instructor, you develop a nice relationship with your fellow TA's and you get a letter of recommendation from me which is useful for your future. (Plus, at the end of the year, I take everyone out for a celebratory TA dinner).
· Class credit (I believe Psych 497) is available for being an undergraduate TA.
· Please talk to any of the current TAs to get the best sense of what the job is like.
· Leanna's office hours are now: M 2:30-4:00, Tu 12:00 - 1:30

· NOTE: The order of material is temporarily traveling a somewhat different route for lecture compared to reading. On Monday, 2/22, I went through the basic information on sampling distributions and the distribution of sample means covered in Chapter 7 through p. 210. On Monday, 3/1 and probabably continuing on Wednesday, 3/3, we will return to issues having to do with hypothesis testing that are covered partly in Chapter 6 from p. 185 on, partly in Chapter 7 from p. 211 on, and partly in Chapter 8. When we get to the Chapter-9 materials, the lecture and readings order will re-converge
· Chapter 6: pp. 185-end of chapter

· NOTE: The order of material will briefly be a bit different for lecture and reading. Although various issues having to do with hypothesis testing using the normal distribution are covered in Chapter 6 from p. 185 through the end of the chapter, I will not cover that material in lecture until I get through the general topic of sampling distributions (Chapter 7 through p. 213).

· NOTE: the only thing not yet covered in lecture is the correction for continuity (textbook pages 180-184). Make sure that you read this section carefully so that you can finish on your own what I began at the end of class today. I will briefly review the correction for continuity at the beginning of class on Monday, 2/22, and you will be responsible for it on Exam 4.

If the question can wait, ask someone during ofice hours, or raise the question in section or in class. Thanks.
