[From Bill Powers (2007.06.15.1750 MDT)]
Many thanks to Marken, Cloak, Hartman, Jorgensen, Balke, and Nickols for the comments on the paper. Fred Nickols did a full edit on the paper and greatly improved it. When I figure out how to make a copy of the edited result I'll post it.
Many of the suggestions were good ones, but are dealt with later on the first or second day. The objective here was just to introduce the basic PCT model and put it in the context of a few other approaches -- not to draw conclusions about teaching or discipline programs.
I should have explained that this paper was meant to provide guidelines for introducing PCT to a bunch of newbies in Ford's RTP program. Ed and George Venetis open the first day with a brief review of PCT, and I decided that that part, about the first half hour, needed work. Too many glazed eyeballs. My effort is still probably too technical, but maybe it can be pared down to where these educators can understand it.
Best.
Bill P.
