    me
    Ph.D. Student in Experimental Psychology & Master Student in Statistics at the University of Memphis. My research interests focus on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Academic Motivation, Adult Literacy, Text Analysis, and Statistics. The statistical model I used often is the (generalized) linear mixed effect model. Now I am trying to use Survival Analysis to see why adult learners drop out from learning and also working on figuring out what factors contribute to the difficulty of a reading comprehension item. My dissertation focuses on After Action Review of learning Statistics. I am good at R programming and can do some python and javascript.
