540 Week 3

This week I found the power point worksheet to be a lot easier.  I teach some statistics in my own classroom.  I teach mean, median, mode, and range.  This made this week easy for me.  All I had to do was work on the standard deviation.  I was glad to have the extra practice.

Next, we have a long term project that is a survey to make with our group.  In order to get ready for this we read an article on how to make a good survey.  In this article, it told us what to consider and keep in mind as we decided to create a survey.  We decided to make a fun survey on Lord of the Rings vs. Harry Potter.  As a group we also created the survey questions and made the survey.  From here, we plan to mass e-mail all of our friends and family in hopes of getting responses back.

The last thing we had to do this week was a survey we had to take a lng time ago.  This survey always takes me a long time and makes we rethink my answers.  Many times I think “oh I could teach that” or “I wonder if I could teach it or if I just feel confident in the skill.”  There were also some skills or questions that I found confusing and was not sure how to answer them.  For these I decided that if I did not know what it was asking, then I should answer that I could not do it.  However, I am a quick learner and think that I could always learn or do something with help.
