Pre-course reading! I have two research design modules this term, and this textbook was recommended for both.

Here’s the promised early concept --more like doodles really ;; - of what Frisk would look like in Mel’s au (+Chara)

Did it before even starting working on part I (comic) so not really canon. Colors and posing are a bit off + I need to work on their outfits but I guess I can show it to you anyway (´∀`)

(Frisk has a blue and pink pin but I messed up so it’s hard to see)

Ya know, in this day and age I’m extra glad to be going into a field that’s all about evidence-based decision making. Until now, I never really thought about my grad focus (business analytics / data science) in the context of current events, but now that I am, it seems fitting.

My first assignment in one of my classes is all about evaluating the quality/reliability of research — a skill I began to develop in high school but lost strength in over time. I’ve almost certainly been guilty of accidentally sharing misinformation via unfounded claims and weak research studies because social media makes it too darn easy to pass info along without a second thought. All this to say that I’m glad I’ll be more equipped to hold myself accountable for thinking critically about information before passing it along to others.

would anyone like a run-down of the kinds of validity to worry about in your research?

It’s tedious but there’s a reward at the end.
