Here's some orienting thoughts about participating in this unit:
==What is this unit about?==
[[Survey research]] and [[survey design]], [[descriptive statistics]], [[correlation]], [[exploratory factor analysis]], [[internal consistency]], [[composite scores]], [[multiple linear regression]], [[statistical power]], [[effect size]] and [[meta-analysis]], [[publication bias]], [[academic integrity]].

==Educational approach==
There are three educational themes in the design and facilitation of this unit:
===Learning attitude: Engage and participate===
{{quote|Eighty percent of success is showing up.<br>- James Allen}}

Intellectual engagement and active participation in the unit's learning events will facilitate development of the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes.

Basically, this means adopting a "learning attitude": 
<center>engage + work hard = learn + succeed</center>

===Emerging academics===
[[Emerging academic]]s ("students") and more experienced academics ("teachers") will participate in a collegial academic culture which will develop through facilitated learning events (lectures, tutorials, readings, assessment). 

===Open education===
All the unit materials should be freely available on the internet. This is an aspirational goal and is under ongoing development.

All participants are welcome to contribute to development of unit materials by editing and/or commenting.
