Welcome to VLab!
The mosaic above features some Spelman students that have worked with me as research and/or teaching assistants under the umbrella of the virtual lab, VLab.
All research assistants must obtain Institutional Review Board certification and conduct a wide range
of tasks including:
literature reviews (e.g. journal articles and eye-tracking solutions)
programming (e.g. surveys)
data collection (e.g. field experiments)
data analysis (mainly using Stata)
preparing (poster) presentations
traveling to the field to collect data
and presenting at/attending conferences (including Spelman Research Day).
Student assistants evaluate their experiences using this anonymous survey.
I periodically also tweet about research assistant experiences.
