Pan Liu: Communication and Judgment
A communication scholar’s personal site brings together research, teaching, media work, and a bilingual mock-auction simulator.
- For
- Communication students, educators, and research-methods readers
- Worth noticing
- The teaching section describes a bilingual auction simulator for practicing bid-calling, price increments, bidder switching, pacing, and hammer-down sequences.
Field notes
The research section turns a broad academic subject into a practical habit: stop when unlike things are treated as equivalent, then test the inference. Its three prompts move from what can be claimed, to what a claim means, to what is useful enough to apply. The teaching section describes a bilingual auction simulator with practice in bidder switching and pacing, alongside Liu’s account of prior work in reporting, broadcasting, photography, documentary production, and podcasting.
