Welcome to Ted Goertzel's Home Page
In the fall semester of 2009 I
will be teaching Methods and Techniques of Social Research and
Cyberspace and Society as Hybrid
Internet courses. Here is a Report
on Hybrid Internet classes I offered Fall 2008. These were
developed in consequence of a study of Retention
and Recruitment of Students at Rutgers Camden. that my students and
I did in a previous class.
If I am your academic advisor, please
check the Advising
Information and try to run Degree Navigator yourself before asking
me to help with that. I will be glad to meet with you to answer
questions and help resolve any problems. It is best to make an
appointment by email
goertzel@camden.rutgers.edu unless you happen to be
on campus and it is convenient to stop by and see if I am in the office
Here is a miscelaneous list of
links to some of my papers. :The list on my resume is more orgnized, but may not include
a few of the more ephemeral things here. I don't want to take
this list down, even though it is messy, because some of them are
linked from various web sites and search engines.
