Ugh! Trying to write research methods lectures makes me want to stab myself in the brain with a pointy size 35 knitting needle!!
Somehow despite having an "easy" week last week (i.e. only 1 lecture out of a possible 6) because my students were engaged in in-class activities (i.e. tests and group work), I managed not only to not get ahead like I had hoped, but to fall behind! How did this happen? I'm completely off my schedule and barely finishing lectures before giving them.
I started a new sock, but haven't touched it since the weekend.
Anyone want to write an hour and 20 minute lecture on threats to validity for me? Please?!?

Ha, we just talked about validity in my research methods class tonight! Fun times.

Umm...
Not having a control group?
Not having truly random sample?
Making up tests after the fact?
Running too many tests?
(Did I get any right?)

Can you discuss how sometimes you get gauge on your guage swatch and then you check guage on your knitting and it has changed. Or how you are working on a pattern and realize that the pattern words don't match the chart. Oh how about how the picture in the magazine or knitting book doesn't match your actual knitting. How does the substitution of yarn affect the pattern?
Am I even close? :)
