To those of you who attended--thank you for your commitment and hard work! I really enjoyed working with you all over the past three days. I am already encouraged and excited for the year ahead!

We will have a quiz based (primarily) on what we learned over the past three days next Friday (8/30).
  • EVERYONE is taking this. If you weren't here for our summer classes it is entirely your responsibility to learn what you missed!

    • Data
    • Quantitative Variable

  • Create a boxplot given only summary data (know how to make a boxplot by hand)
