[WinstonSmith]

I hope someone is.

Wikipedia and Google aren't always your friend.

[BringBackZezel]

Crap...I used to know that stuff.

[BlueBrained]

I used to know this stuff too but it has left my brain, grad school seems so long ago...

Do you have SPSS?

[WinstonSmith]

No. I only have one assignment using this stuff. I'm taking a research methods class, which is primarily about research (duh), but we're working on statistical research and quantitative research and the prof believes that we should be able to do this stuff.

From what I understand, after this class, and this particular meeting, I won't have to do this stuff anymore.

Or so I hope.

[Moon Man]

Give us the problems, and maybe we can come up with something. If nothing else, we can make fun of you.

Those terms look familar, too bad I don't have the faintest idea how to solve that any longer.

[ShortHop]

What do you need to know?

[Hollywood]

Specifically, I need help with Z-Scores, T-Scores, Deviation IQs, and Stanines.

Anyone good with this stuff?

I'm familiar with T-Cells, or the lack there of.

[sportschick]

Crap...I used to know that stuff.

++

My master's thesis used a bunch of T-Scores and maybe some Z-scores...

I don't know if you will still need the info by the time I get home and find it, but I have it somewhere...

Perfect example of learn it for the class to get an A and remember it for as long as you use it, then promptly forget it when it is no longer needed.
