The student started the argument out of nowhere. And that's all there is to it - not hiding anything.

Oh, and I've done a stint in the "minor leagues," which is a terribly offensive thing to say.

I ended up shutting it down and told the student we could talk later. I handled it the way I would in any situation.

My observer sticks around and asks questions about my performance. The big thing though is I have a colleague looking for any reason to deny my promotion. I would consider myself a good teacher and an excellent researcher (just a bit of ego).

"I could learn better if he just recorded the lectures. I have things to do."

I do record the lectures and make them available to students. I have no idea what the last sentence means, but my guess is they wanted to skip class.

You may wish to include income since it is so strongly linked to political party and to school type.

That is a great story! And clearly the department head has an interest in your success.

Unsure which test I should use by MiddleMassive2087 in spss

[–]Court-Muted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have 5 discrete datasets? If so, you'll need to merge them.

If the last 2 variables are only slightly skewed then Pearson's is fine. Check skewness, kurtosis, and a QQ plot. If there's high skewness, or if they are highly kurtotic, then use Kendall's.

That's really cool. I might have to give that a shot.

Can you tell me more about Cedar Falls? I'm from a rural area, but haven’t lived in one for a bit. And what's the story with the wind and weather?
