While I have been all over, I consider the Tri-Cities to be where I am from. This is where my mom is from. This is where I mostly grew up. This is also where I am currently living. You can read more about theTri-Cities on Wikipedia.

Jacob Rodman Campbell's Website

This post was written by Jacob Campbell on Sun, 09/18/2011 - 09:01 while they were in , and is filed under

I believe that deep down inside of each and every one of us, is a passion for something. One thing that have I have always enjoyed is listening to people talk about whatever they are passionate about. I love it when I get to see someone's eyes light up as they describe what they love to do. I think these things that we are so passionate about are our callings. Finding way's to do things we are passionate about is vital to a fufilled and satisfied life. Like King Soloman described in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for everything. My life has been full of different seasons. This website is to hopefully give you a bit of a picture of what some of those seasons have been. It's also meant to teach you a little bit of some of the stuff I've learned along the way.

Determining a Studies Internal Validity

This post was written by Jacob Campbell on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 17:04 while they were in , and is filed under

Looking at a studies design helps to determine internal validity and causality in regards to the results of the study. It explains simply what you did to whom. The design of the study looks at the number of groups and measures, the independent and dependent variables, and whether the sample was randomly assigned.

The researcher can enhance internal validity by having a comparison group and a control group. Furthermore, randomly selecting and assigning participants can increase internal validity and reduce selection bias.

My name is Jacob Rodman Campbell VSP (the VSP stands for "Very Special Person" which is my given name and on my birth certificate). If you know me in a professional setting you might also see MSW on my name (Master's of Social Work) which is my professional degree. This website is a kind of playground for me. It was born out of being interested in graphic and webdesign and just wanting to learn how to do it.
