As a follow-up to Dr. McClendon's interesting DC blog about the excellent resource for doctoral learners called "TED," I offer the link below that is a demonstration of just how exciting statistics can be! The content is not as relevant as my suggestion that you observe the power of engaging descriptive and correlative statistics. And just as important, how a "statistics guru" presents the quantitative study. Ask yourself: Are your research statistics as engaging as this? Do you want them to be?
