Thursday
We attended a panel discussion in which writers talked about various types of writing: academic writing, marketing and communications writing, radio writing, and journalism/newspaper writing.
The instructor handed out a revised reading and activities schedule. This one is green. If you were not in class, be sure to get one. It may have been emailed to all class members as an attachment. If you did not receive it, e-mail the instructor at the Comcast address.
We will be doing reading checks on Tuesday.
Tuesday
We worked with the surveys today.
First the instructor showed students how to pull interesting points from the surveys. Using two student surveys as examples, she showed how to take parts of the survey and make points from them. Example: tattoos and hiring; how much spent per person on pizza.
Next Julie showed students how she does bar and pie charts. She showed that you do not have to use Excel to make the charts. Students can use Powerpoint or Word.
Finally, students used their laptops to take surveys of their colleagues. We prioritized the students who needed additional respondents. Some students had as many as 51 respondents already.
For next class:
Ch. 3 reading check
