"G. Marc Turner" asked "Does anybody have a suggestion
as to a good video to show on experimental designs for an Intro level
class? Hopefully I'll be able to speak again on Thursday..."
This is undoubtedly too late for Marc for just FYI: I love the Nova episode
featuring James (The Amazing) Randi. He discuisses all kinds of Psi
phenomena and points out how things like experimenter bias, lack of double
blind controls, outright fraud, etc. affects attempts to detect these
(pseudo)phenomena. Sorry, but I don't have the exact title.
