How to get good letters of recommendation:

http://www.psywww.com/careers/lettrec.htm [168 clicks]

Most of the materials you submit for the evaluation of your application to a graduate program are objective and quantitative: grade-point average, Graduate Record Exam scores, class standing, and so forth. Letters of recommendation are the important exception; they should mention all your positive qualities not revealed by objective data such as GRE scores. A substantive letter from an informed referee can often be very persuasive to graduate admissions committees, especially in "borderline" admissions decisions.

Meta-Analysis Research Methodology:

http://wilderdom.com/research/meta-analysis.html [163 clicks]

Meta-analysis is a statistical technique for amalgamating, summarising, and reviewing previous quantitative research. By using meta-analysis, a wide variety of questions can be investigated, as long as a reasonable body of primary research studies exist. Selected parts of the reported results of primary studies are entered into a database, and this "meta-data" is "meta-analyzed", in similar ways to working with other data - descriptively and then inferentially to test certain hypotheses.

Pitfalls of data analysis: How to avoid lies and damned lies:

This workshop discusses things that people often overlook in their data analysis, and ways people sometimes "bend the rules" of statistics to support their viewpoint. It covers the most important ways you can make sure your own statistics are clear and accurate.

Brevity Isn't Enough: Take the Fat Out of Your Writing:

A great deal has been written over the last few years about the need for brevity on the Web. Whether Web writing has improved as a result is debatable, but one thing is certain: the word has gotten out. These days one can't gather three people in a room to plan a writing/content project without someone's sounding off about the need for brevity. That's a good thing.
