7:00 Arrival and greetings (Time for bantering)

7:15 Check-in

7:25 - 8: 25 Group Discussions

You have read Module 5 and chapter 6 in the  research text presented on the schedule.  Tonight you will have two discussion sessions each followed by a Q&A with Geni.  You will use guiding questions to discuss key issues regarding the concepts of validity, reliability, variance and sampling.  Each small group (see groups below) will have an opportunity to discuss what you've read.  Recorders will need to draw together questions the group may have and present them to Geni in the follow-up discussions with the larger group. 

Geni will drop by each of the four discussion groups and comment, but feel free to page her with questions during your discussions.

Below are the four groups for the evening with assigned roles below selected names. Discussions will be held in rooms indicated.   Facilitators will need to make sure there are taskmasters, timekeepers and recorders for the groups.
