Unit Resources
This week, I drew some of the source material from a couple of articles. We listen to a story called The Blind Men and the Elephant. In discussing triangulation, I draw from Thurmond (2001) to share the types of triangulation we consider. We also consider Midway (2020) as we discuss data visualization.
All of the presentations for this class can be found at https://presentations.jacobrcampbell.com. You can see this week’s slides at Spring 2024 SOWK 460w Week 13 - Interpreting Findings Analyzing and Understanding Data for Program Evaluation.
