Technology and survey?
I stumbled upon the technology consulting company Scantron (https://www.scantron.com/) that provides survey services (https://www.scantron.com/assessment-solutions/surveys/survey-development/). I did not expect to see this combination within a single company. Continue reading

Building work relationships
In my last corporate position (at GEICO), I worked from home full-time. I attended meetings, completed training, and had 1-on-1s with my manager from my computer/laptop at home. Meeting my co-workers and managers in-person was necessary to form working relationships. I don’t recall whose idea it was for us to meet at the office, but… Continue reading

Update 8/9
I expect a payment from Allstate (related to my car accident/totaled vehicle). I would really like to replace the vehicle, but I think I need to use the funds for other purposes. I am thinking of getting an apartment in Gainesville. Rent is much lower there. And, years ago, when I lived in Gainesville, I… Continue reading

Pain research
My PhD paper on how website design affects customer/consumer complaints touched on pain during shopping. That was surprising! I didn’t think of the paper when I saw the call for research on pain and posted about it (link to post: https://fahmeenaodetta.com/2023/06/30/the-topic-pain/). There really is a need for research in this area. Continue reading

An Important Paper

That paper was on the design of an e-commerce website. It touched on usability and consumer decision-making. It was the final paper for a course just not called a… Continue reading

Where am I from?
(Videos provide answers.) https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2023/08/where-am-i-from_5.html FYI: Although Guyana is technically in South America, it is a member of (a part of) the CARIbbean COMmunity. Guyana has a lot in common with other members of CARICOM. My CARICOM Pinterest board (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/caricom-caribbean-community-guyana-other-caribbean/) highlights this.

FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
