Can I see a sample video?
To get a sense of the course, click here to watch a sample video. This should give you a sense of how the course works.
Can I ask questions about my own data?
The zoom sessions are intended to clarify the issues covered in the videos and other general issues in meta-analysis. I would be happy to discuss your data as it relates to these issues, and to answer any questions of general interest based on your data. However, we cannot spend much time on issues that are unique to a specific dataset and not of general interest.

Testimonials
"A lot of important information is covered in this course. I have gained a good understanding of the basic concepts of meta-analysis and become aware of some of the misunderstandings and 'traps' that are commonly encountered. I will definitely need to review all the information and apply it to my own M-A to reinforce what I've learned. Fortunately there is plenty of written and electronic back-up information provided too. Michael is a very passionate and generous instructor."

"I found this workshop incredibly helpful. This workshop has increased my confidence in conducting and interpreting a meta-analysis. Further, Michael's generosity with his time in taking questions during the breaks and after-hours were an unmeasurable benefit to this workshop. The additional benefits were all the resources provided as part of the workshop- these have been, and will continue to be so incredibly helpful."
