The results are below; 19 students participated. If you'd like to add another comment on what you see here <a href="mailto:dkuropatwa@wsd1.org?subject=Applied Math 40S Survey June 2008&body=Hi there, I'd like to comment on the survey. Here are my thoughts:">email me</a> or leave a comment below this post.<br /><br />There did seem to be one or two surveys that were irregular: The first ten questions all scored 1, the next three were 4s and 5s. Perhaps the instructions were misread?<br /><br />Without any further ado, here are the results of our class's survey. Please share your thoughts by commenting (anonymously if you wish) below .....<br /><br /><b><i>Classroom Environment</i></b><br />The questions in this section were ranked using this 5 point scale:<br /><br /><table border="3" bordercolor="brown"><tr align="center"><td>Strongly Disagree</td><td>Disagree</td><td>Neutral</td><td>Agree</td><td>Strongly Agree</td></tr><tr align="center"><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td></tr></table><br /><br />The <b>bold</b> numbers after each item are the average ratings given by the entire class.<br /><br />1.

If you watch any of the video content they created you'll hear several "in jokes", listen for them. Without any further ado, here is the podcast.

First of all, you need to enter the data into a statplot. Let us say for instance we are calculating the time we have of sunshine each month.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RX0hHPYWJg0/SDcFSP2AsII/AAAAAAAAAAQ/xp616ZZ31Kw/s1600-h/sunshine+data_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RX0hHPYWJg0/SDcFSP2AsII/AAAAAAAAAAQ/xp616ZZ31Kw/s400/sunshine+data_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203633705498751106" border="0" /></a><br />The order of the data that we will get starting after the data given of sunshine is, step 1. the list, step 2.the graph settings, step 3. the V-Win option, step 4. the graph with no line, step 5. the the SinReg list, step 6. the graph with the line.<br /><br /> Step 1.In order to make the list with the sunshine data, you enter the months of the year in list number 1 (ex. January = 1, Febuary = 2, March = 3, etc.). Next, you enter the data for each month into the second list (ex. January = 120, Febuary = 140, March = 178, etc). Once you are finished putting in the list data for each month, you will adjust your graph settings in step 2.<br /><br />Step 2. you want to set up the data to display a scatter plot. The x and y would be list one and list two (in that order). Any data point can be used for your preferences (Mr.K likes to use the squares).<br /><br />Step 3. in order to get a good view of the data, you want to set up your V-Win so it goes beyond the data point of of the highest and lowest x and y values. Do not set it up too far or else the data will be squashed.<br /><br />Step 4. Press the graph button to acheive this data ( must do step 1 though 3 first).<br /><br />Step 5. go to the calc menu, press reg, and scale down until you reach SinReg. you press it and you should get this formula (refer to the picture).<br /><br />Step 6. You copy Sinreg to the graph menu. After you get to the graph screen, you must put in beside SinReg L1, L2, Y1. Press graph to get this step. The pattern is likely to continue the next year so now you have a approx. pattern (will never get line exactly with dot). SinReg is useful when getting patterns in a series of data within a certain time period.Rainyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11255892418621175890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326960805865411040.post-78146856045208672572008-05-22T09:21:00.002-05:002008-05-25T17:43:19.689-05:00BOBOkay, so for this unit, I think I did pretty well once I got the hang of using the right operations at the right time. The only problem I was having before was that I would subtract or add something at the wrong time, such as when buying a car (when you need to add values before and after you add the taxes). I think I strong point for me was that for the options questions I had a fairly easy time with it because by the time we got to it the only new thing was the common sense added to the answers. Good luck on the test everybody!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326960805865411040.post-54242112359660899702008-05-22T00:41:00.002-05:002008-05-22T00:43:38.548-05:00BOB - Personal Financeok so i think i'm going to do good on this test, i've gone over the notes quite a few times and i feel like i just get scared of the longer questions =\ so hopefully i do ok =)christine m.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12579608852908430549noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326960805865411040.post-81213811490841201052008-05-22T00:30:00.002-05:002008-05-22T00:55:04.069-05:00BOBThis unit was okay for me, it's pretty easy to understand....it's just that there are lots of formulas that you have to remember that I can have trouble with. With the formulas I remember them right now(well, i think so)...but when I get the test I sometimes just blank so then I forget the stuff that I have learn &/or studied. So, I'm hoping that I won't blank out on the test tomorrow!!! That's all that I can think about to write....GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063563207641195033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326960805865411040.post-88426556453515592252008-05-22T00:13:00.002-05:002008-05-22T01:18:14.959-05:00BOBI think i'll do good on the test tomorrow (or in a few hours, depending on what time it is right now). I understood this unit alot more than the past units. Sometimes the answers came to me easily, probably because i remember working on personal finance from grade 11 Applied Math. Like for example, when we first used TVM Solver at the beginning of this unit, it was pretty straightforward to me.<br />Some things I might have trouble on is questions on mortgage. Theres a lot of information to take in and it gets confusing at times. But then once everything is organized, then the answer is easy to find. For example, the question that involved Lucy Brown who wanted to buy a condo. That was very confusing, mostly because the way the word problems or worded, and i guess i just didnt really read it carefully or understand it well. But seeing the way it was done, it seemed so easy.<br />Also leasing is a bit of a pain in the butt. There's alot to do, like finding the depreciation, taxing it, down payments, monthly payments, blah blah blah.<br />Hopefully i do good on this test, right now i feel confident about it, but tests are always surprising.<br />Wish me luck! :)<br />(Sorry for the horrible grammar. Hehe. :))merceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06915871462104967042noreply@blogger.com0
