Subject: Inclusive Teaching
Hello Everyone,I am writing one last time to humbly request your participation in a survey that assesses attitudes and behaviors related to inclusive teaching. This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of New Hampshire. I hope to receive responses from teachers as well as teaching graduate students at several colleges and universities to obtain representative information about these issues across many different types of institutions and teachers. Survey responses will be anonymous and all data will be kept confidential. This survey takes only about 20 minutes to complete. At the end of this survey you will have the option of entering a drawing to win 1 of 2 Blackberry phones.To participate in the survey, please go to this link:

Results will be very valuable for my research; these data are for my doctoral dissertation in Psychology. In addition, information from this survey will help identify factors that may make it easy or difficult for faculty to include multicultural material into their teaching. Many institutions have stated increased diversity as a goal, and results from this survey could help institutions find ways to make that goal a reality.If you can take the time to participate in this survey, I would appreciate it very much. As you may know, most research in psychology focuses on undergraduates (who are easy to recruit). For this study, we really need information about the attitudes of teachers. Your participation would provide extremely valuable information.
Thank you for your time,

Participation Needed for Spokesperson Credibility Study

Hi. I am looking for people who might be willing to participate in a study for my dissertation. My topic is spokesperson credibility. For instance: two spokespersons of equal credibility (on paper) appear in two TV news interviews. With all other variables being equal (neutral interviewer, same topic, same message about the topic), audience members might find one person very believable and the other not at all believable.
Anyone who watches news on the Internet or TV, or is involved in their local community is invited to participate. You will be asked to watch a short videotape and answer approximately 50 questions, and you will also be asked to answer some questions about yourself. Your responses are anonymous and confidential. You will not be asked to provide your name or other identifying information. I would be grateful if you would be willing to participate in this study.
The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Have you taught research methods or do you know someone who has?

This is from a PhD candidate at URI with whom I have worked a lot - and on a topic I care a lot about! Beth is doing a really interesting examination of the research methods course. Please consider taking a few minutes to help her out either filling it out yourself or passing it on to someone who has. Thanks! Cheers, Kat (kquina@uri.edu)
I am hoping that anyone who has taught research methods might be willing to participate in a study for my dissertation. I am developing and validating a measure of students' attitudes toward research methods and in addition to administering the measure to students, I am asking instructors or professors who have taught research methods in psychology to answer a short survey. Any professor or instructor who has taught research methods in psychology is invited to participate. You will be asked to answer some questions as you believe the average undergraduate would answer them, and you will also be asked to answer some questions about yourself. Your responses are anonymous and confidential. You will not be asked to provide your name or other identifying information. I would be grateful if you would be willing to participate in this study. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Rhode Island.

The Writing Loft: Write a Nonfiction Book in 30 Days
The Writing Loft: Write a Nonfiction Book in 30 Days
http://www.thewritingloft.com/nonfiction.html
The course fee for Write a Nonfiction Book in 30 Days is a modest $67 (Writing Loft, Home Page, n.d.)
Here is the quoted description: "Ninety percent of all published writing is nonfiction. The world is clamoring information; information of any kind. Publishers are searching for authors to supply that information. Opportunities for nonfiction writers are everywhere. Those who have given it a try are making sizable incomes writing about what they already know. This class will show you how to research, write, and produce a viable draft in only 30 days.This class is for you if you've: never written before; never attempted a full-length project; have an expertise or information others would like to have; have very little time to write; [or] have a desire to write a book."
This looks like an interesting distance learning (DL) class for those who may want to start a book.
