At the beginning of the course, you were asked the question: "What comes to mind when you hear the word statistics?" Now, at the end of the course, I ask the same question. What comes to mind when you hear the word statistics? In addition to your response to that question, please write a substantive two or three paragraph essay addressing the following:
- How have you been able to apply what you have learned in this class to other areas of your life?
- Describe a current or recent event or situation where you have used the tools presented in this MTH 245 course. Think about your family and friends, your career, your education, and your hobbies. How does what you have learned in this course influence the decisions you make or the actions you take?
- Do you feel that you have become a more critical thinker in your decision-making approach?
- Have you developed the habit of closely and critically examining numbers?
Please reply with your final reflection in this discussion. You can enter your reflection as text or attach a PDF or RTF. While it is encouraged, it is not required to read all the reflection posts. Feel free to post a follow-up question or comment where appropriate.
