Seeking 3rd/4th yr psych students for PSY222 guidance... (2 Viewers)

[schmogirl]

don't give up schmogirl, you don't want to do it again, imagine the relief when you finish it in one semester!!! if you do happen to fail (which you won't, as i have said before), it will be a whole lot easier the second time around, rather than the first time around, attempt number 2.

oreo wafer sticks?? i can't keep up with trying new products!

so lovely - feels like a great big supportive hug from afar - thank you! and yes most definitely that is what is motivating me - the thought of getting through it and NOT failing and NOT repeating (bit like avoiding punishment)...that said, if it's not gonna happen then yep round 2 might see me get some decent mark rather than a fail or just passing....

yeah me who tells everyone else in the house "don't watch the ads they brainwash you" succumbed and bought a pack after repeated exposure to their ads....they're not bad. i prefer the good old oreo cookies (choc creme)....mind you this obsessive munching due to stress is not good!

oh gee thanks clairegirl....yeah i'm not old but i do sometimes feel a bit weird at uni....i mean i know i am like 10-15 years older (arrggghhhhh) than some of you guys but thankfully i've been told (really!) that i don't look it (coz i'm eurasian and tiny - 5'3" about 160cm).... it's hard to know who to choose to sit with in a tute sometimes - do i sit with the asian students coz i'm eurasian, or the 'aussies' coz i'm actually an aussie born and riased, or do i sit with the 'mature mums' coz that's what i really am....or do i sit with anyone coz in the end we're all on a level playing field at uni...we're all students! in the end i'm so shy i end up sitting by myself....

thanks for the offer of help, i am still confused by q4 in the psy222 assignment. i mean i did a few contrasts for q3 but then q4 is stumping me. i can't get all the SS from my contrasts (all or a combo of some) to add up to SStreat and i don't realy know what to do to make an orthogonal set that accounts for all the variation etc....anyway don't worry if you're not bothered replying i'll manage and really i am sooooo over it for today so will try again with fresh eyes tomorrow....

btw sorry everyone for all my disjointed replies and posts - sometimes days in between, i hope it doesn't seem rude or disinterested it's just the way it goes with me and computer usage...

and you DO have a life, BOS seems like a great supportive fun challenging surprising (and other stuff) little community and worthwhile being part of. i guess sometimes i have too MUCH life - kids, work, uni, blah blah blah....

good luck with all your stuff clairegirl and thanks for the chat

that's the best part about forums. you log on and reply or jump in with what you can, when you can. if you've been away, you can still catch up on what has been going on.

i had the same trouble.. i wanted to find a set of contrasts with three contast thingies in it.. but i could only find two that would be orthogonal to each other...

and urrm.. not hundred per cent sure.. but if contrasts are orthogonal to each other, doesn't that automatically account for all the variation?

very true and good to know....was bit worried and still learning to navigate...my partner chats on a similar site but its just for radio control nerds (sorry - 'enthusiasts')....he gets a bit addicted but he likes to read more than he likes to post....he's like me i guess (bit shy and can't be bothered if we've nothing to say)

that's it for me - sleep time now.....enjoy your night of study/bos'ing

i'm glad we're doing much the same thing it means i'm not completely useless at this subject...yay!

umm....i thought orthogonality just meant independence....?

anyway i have given up it's getting too late for my brain to function...off to bed for me....good luck with yours, if i work it out i'll definitely let you (and all) know..

 

[clairegirl]

hehe too late.. i've alreayd done it and i handed it in few days ago

oh gosh im dickhead lol i just figured out get a set of exhaustive orthogonal set of contrasts lol

just thought ide share ... lol

if there's 4 means. You can get max 3 contrasts for your exhastive set

so you go

1 2 3 4

contrast1: 1,2 vs 3,4 ...coeffs -1 -1 1 1

contrast2: 1vs2 ... coeffs 1 -1 0 0

contrast2: 3vs4...coeffs 0 0 1 -1

and the sums of squares for all of these contrasts add up to total sums of squares EDIT: for treat
