- What is the correlation (r value) between number of articles published and overall quality of the instructor?
- Is there a significant correlation between overall course quality and overall quality as an instructor? Include the r and p values to support your answer.
- Of all the correlations, which is the only non-significant one?
- Write your Results section focusing on the following 2 correlations: a) number of publications with number of times cited by other authors, and b) number of publications with overall course quality. All homework Results sections must follow the example given in the Course Content document "Writing Results of Statistical Tests in Current APA Format" (note: you do not have to refer to a figure). Remember to include a decision about the null hypothesis. For a correlation analysis, be sure to also include the direction of the relationship between the variables (positive? negative? none?) in your section.
