and I start working on my MSW in January :)
I’m just interested in what opportunities I have.
DMSA_Lab - Win up to $105 in gift cards to tell us your thoughts about COVID vaccines
I passed the screener and it led to the full survey. I got to the end of the survey and it asked for your name, address, phone, birthday, 2 email addresses, and your Facebook account.
Emailed requester letting them know this was against Mturk Terms:
"Collecting personally identifiable information (e.g., don’t ask Workers for their email address or phone number), or otherwise attempting to derive any personally identifiable information about Workers"
A few hours later, requester emailed with this:
We have confirmed that you have received your $0.40 payment from MTurk for successfully completion of the screener HIT. However, your survey responses make you ineligible for the main study and the corresponding gift card.
Note that we have consulted with Amazon Mechanical Turk about this issue and they have determined that we are not in violation of their Terms of Service."~~~
 
1 - The screener and the full survey were both done on Mturk. It was the typical, "You qualify!" then it automatically leads to the main portion. If you do not want to do the longer main portion, it gives you a completion code to be paid just for the screener.
 
2 - You only get paid for the main portion if you give personally identifiable information. That information makes you "eligible" for the Facebook group and payment. You discover this after you have already done the whole survey.
 
3 - Mturk does not respond to ANYONE. Let alone in a few hours.
 
Beware of requesters telling lies and withholding payment in order to gain your personal information and saying it is not against Mturk rules.

Not sure if this belongs in this sub, but I'm really not sure where to ask this so here I go.
I have previously noticed that it is much easier to both see a person talk (as in with their facial expression and the way their mouth moves etc) and hear them at the same time than to just hear them talk. It is less of a problem with podcasts because podcasts usually provide a very high quality crispy audio, but it's really a thing for when you're not paying really great attention and when there's ambient noises around you.
The first time I noticed that behavior is about three years ago, when I went to watch "Fantastic Beasts" in theater. We went with the whole family, and I learnt that I forgot my glasses when I got to the theater. When we got there, we're already a few minutes late plus my apartment is a bit far from the theater, so I didn't bother tell anyone else that I forgot the glasses. It turns out they booked an expensive seat at the very back of the theater and it was a huge theater. So the whole time I felt like I was watching a big blur square (like the thumbnails you see in reddit for like NSFW or graphic content) because I was nearsighted.
At the time, my english was very rusty, but I could easily watch a movie and understand everything without struggling a lot. But it turns out, it's really really difficult to understand a thing when all the visual cues are lost. I found myself not being able make sense of most parts of the plot. Maybe because the movie was in British English? I don't know but hopefully you get the point.
My question is about whether there's a formal study about that behavior or any article that I can read, or maybe whether it is even a real thing or not. Looking forward to hearing discussion from other people in here. Thanks!
P.S. By the way, it (forgetting glasses to the theater) happened twice and once was for the movie "A Quiet Place". Imagine how I felt, watching a movie that is entirely about visual cues and with absolutely no sound, as a big square of a blur. Thank god they had smoked BBQ flavor popcorns.
I'm beginning my EE accelerated master's in a few weeks, and much of the practical experience I have had so far is in machine learning (I will start work as an ML engineer in a few days). I am very interested in research crossovers between DSP and machine learning, but after taking courses in information theory and probability during my undergrad, I began to gain interest in communications as well. Does one field have a greater entry barrier than the other? Would one field require that I become more specialized in a niche subfield than the other, or is that unlikely to happen with both?
I don't know how true this is, but I have heard that learning about DSP is a lot like learning a bag of signal processing "cookie-cutter tricks" and plugging in known solutions to various types of problems, which sounded like a bit of a turn off. I got the impression that communications was more mathematical, but that studying it as a grad student might be an overkill because the theory that a student would learn would be impractical for actual applications in real life.
As someone who enjoys research a lot, what type of advice could you give?
Hello SampleSize users!
I need your help! Maybe you've already come across on one of my posts before, I'm Inga (22) and I'm in my last Bachelor's semester (woo!).
I study Communication Science in Amsterdam and it has been a wild ride, especially thanks to the global pandemic.. Well, as part of my studies, I am doing an internship at a big coperation. It's very exciting, since I've never been "behind the scenes" of any big company, and the experience helped me realize a few things.
Anyway, you might be wondering how you can help me, and I know it's probably a bit annoying, but as part of my internship, I need to write a report which includes a research. So, I'm just looking for a couple more respondents :)
The study itself is just a formality, but I am investigating communication effects in an online advertisement. I cannot give too much away without spoiling the results, but of course, you are more thank welcome to take part and find out yourself. It is an online survey which will not take more than around 5 minutes of your day. Here is the link: https://uvacommscience.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9ZZw3iASQGnu3QO
I'd be very thankful for your participation! Of course, feel free to comment if you have any questions, remarks, comments.. anything! :D I'll be hanging around. Also, feel free to send me your surveys to take them ;)
Much thanks!
California community college transfer here with a 3.55 transferable GPA junior standing. Went from a dropout to a great student (3.78 cumulative GPA minus 2 C grades from 5 years ago, I’m not the same person I was from 5 years ago and it shows on my transcript). Personal essays were pretty good in my opinion. UCLA is super competitive with communications, and so is SDSU and I just kind of want to know my chances. UCLA half of their preparation for major classes aren’t even offered at my community college. I also TAG’d to UCSB and will be getting an ADT for SDSU. Also, I’m half Asian, not sure if that affects anything 😂
Hi! I'm looking for the song that plays when Jeff enters the dance to talk to Slater. Any help would be great!
I have found the earlier edition but this course requires the 7th. Thanks in advance
Ok I'm totally kidding, but in all seriousness, GG is such a phenomenal peek into the way unresolved trauma seeps through the cracks of one's life and impacts everything. Lorelai's behavior is a direct result of her parents and leaving home so young. Then Emily feels traumatized by that and gets triggered by Lorelai's behavior, leaving them in a perpetual loop of misery with each other. Jess has his own shit to deal with from having a flakey mom and absent dad, etc.
The older I get, the more I see how the show very astutely hides so much psychological nuance into a campy, quirky, mother-daughter show.
They tell you “a communication degree opens so many doors!” Can someone point me to the doors? I feel like any COMM related job I find, I’m not qualified for. I graduated in 2020 and have been an administrative assistant since. I want to find a career where I’m actually utilizing my degree.
i’m currently in half way through my second year of university in the university transfer program in BC, and am in the process of applying to transfer for the fall semester at concordia.
i am deciding between either the communication or communications and cultural studies program and have a few questions:
-
i understand that both are fairly difficult to get into, and while my grades are very good (overall A+ student), i have absolutely nothing outside of school that would constitute as being appropriate for a portfolio. up until now, my plan was to manor in women’s studies, which i know some of what i learned there will be of use. with that in consideration and based on the competitiveness of both programs, would one be far easier to get into? as far as the short essay for this year, i have fairly strong writing skills but very little in terms of knowledge surrounding communication studies… (for example, i have absolutely no idea what names are being referenced for this years essay)
-
what is the MAIN difference between the two? from what i understand, communication studies holds more of an emphasis on production which while, id be so interested in learning, i am about as tech savvy as an 80 year old. i understand that part of school is learning, but i’m wondering how much of that program is focused around the production/technology aspect?
-
as far as jobs, i’d like to get into PR or project management. i definitely don’t have a “dream” job but do know that i like having my own schedule, and would rather work alone rather than in constant collaboration with a group.
thank you in advance!
