This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

The course covers all aspects of instrument design for Web surveys\, including the appropriate use of various input tools (e.g.\, radio buttons\, check boxes) for Web surveys\, general formatting and layout issues\, movement through the instrument (action buttons\, navigation\, error messages)\, and so on. The course draws on empirical results from experiments on alternative design approaches as well as practical experience in the design and implementation of a wide variety of Web surveys. The course also covers the challenges of designing Web surveys for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets)\, and the collection and use of paradata to evaluate Web survey instruments. The course does not focus on the technical aspects of Web survey implementation\, such as hardware\, software or programming. It also does not focus on general survey design or questionnaire design – participants are expected to have some familiarity with surveys.

Mixed mode designs are also covered as well as several hybrid modes for collecting sensitive information e.g.\, self-administering the sensitive questions in what is otherwise a face-to-face interview. The course also covers newer methods such as mobile web and SMS (text message) interviews\, and examines alternative data sources such as social media. It concentrates on the impact these techniques have on the quality of survey data\, including error from measurement\, nonresponse\, and coverage\, and assesses the tradeoffs between these error sources when researchers choose a mode or survey design. This is not a how-to-do-it course on survey data collection\, but rather focuses on the error properties of key aspects of the data collection process.\n\nStudents will view recorded lectures and complete reading assignments in preparation for class discussion sessions which will occur twice per week\, one hour per session. Students are expected to attend all discussion sessions either in person or via BlueJeans. Successful discussion sessions will occur through preparation and active participation by all participants enrolled in the course. Students should have questions or discussion topics in mind for the class sessions.\n\nRemote participation option: It is not necessary to be physically in Ann Arbor to take the course. Students who cannot be in Ann Arbor can enroll and join discussion sessions via BlueJeans (https://www.bluejeans.com/).\n\nOnce enrollment is confirmed via email\, indicate if course attendance will be in person\, in Ann Arbor or via BlueJeans.\n\nPrerequisite: An introductory course in survey research methods or equivalent experience.
