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
"Great course material; great lectures by Michael, well prepared and clear; great interactive opportunities with Michael; very informal and friendly atmosphere that makes you listen and dare to ask questions; perfect mix of lectures and practice."
Karin Jensen - Harvard Medical School
"I used to work with meta-analysis and I have never found any other materials more brilliant than this 2 day course. The lecturer Dr. Borenstein is very enthusiastic in helping out with students, clarifying their concepts personally and he welcomed all sorts of questions in a manner that the students will not feel embarrassed. This course is good for both beginners as well as professionals who have already mastered some skills in meta-analysis."
