This series is so great! I learn more from merely ten-minutes of watching this than from 10-hours of literature reading.

[@lihlendlovu6062]

Thank you. This is helpful. I'm new in quantitative research and only learning about this concepts a PhD level. Learning them from the book or article can be confusing but this video is making it easy for me to understand

Fantastic and clear explanation. The more I work with SEM the better these videoes become.

[@Kerem-hm2xl]

Hi Patrick, thank you for your video. It is the first video I have ever seen that explains the academic/research approach that starts with non-academic communication. This is what precisely new students need - explain things in their language, not at an academic level, if you try to support their academic journey.
Making a difference deserves to be congregated and thanked. Thank you again as a newbie research student.
