The following is a copy of my final data sheet, statistics, and a chart to assist in the analyzing of the required task.
Reflections on Test Data"
Most of the students followed a similar curve in their tests with the exception of Katherine Hepburn. Katherine bombed on test 6 and then made remarkable recovery on the remaining tests.
Reflections on the assignment:
I had an interesting experience with my assignment. I had no problems manipulating the data in Excel and Google Spreadsheets. I encountered major problems when I tried to move my data and graph to my Blog site.
I spent several hours unsuccessfully trying to move my data and finally cried "uncle!" and e-mailed Barry.
Barry and I worked over the phone and using a slick program Teamviewer that made it possible for him to work on my computer.
I had done my work in willamettemat instead of my own gmail site. Consequently, I had no ownership or editing rights. Also, because I was using Explorer for a browser I had multiple windows open and had to keep signing in and out of gmail to work in both places. By switching to Google Chrome and a feature "incognito window" that allowed us to work in multiple sites with out having to log in and out constantly.
I learned a lot from this experience, more than I would have if I had gotten "lucky" and gotten it right the first time. I know this experience will help me when I am working with students that are having technology problems. "Hats off" to Barry for all your help!
You sure found a lot of hurdles in this little activity. Close to setting a record (I think). But, lucky for you as you gained more experience than everyone else! I'm pretty sure if you went back to repeat this activity from scratch you could dissect that raw data and have a chart in a few minutes.
