New Post: "For Your Syllabus: Statistical Power"

Add content on statistical power to your social science courses.

Not just to methods courses.

For substantive courses, Bloom's MDE (i.e., 80% power to detect 2.5*SE) is easy to teach and really helpful!

Grad programs often don't teach folks how to write good reviewer reports. Here are some resources:

1. @brendannyhan.bsky.social review checklist: thepoliticalmethodologist.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/tpm_...

2. "How to Write an Effective Referee Report": aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
