Lesson Topic
Data collecting: Critical Thinking
Lesson Outline
In our first real foray into the world of statistics, we discussed the numerous faulty ways data can be collected and presented. These pitfalls are sadly omnipresent (usually not intentionally) and often portray a distorted view (again, usually not intentionally) to the general public of the dataset in question. We discussed how important it is to collect data in non-biased random manner from a representative sample of a population. One example is the double blind method most often used in medical experiments. Jared appeared to be very interested in all aspects of data collecting, and has an excellent grasp on different graph representations.

Lesson Comments
I have a feeling Jared is going to excel in this class. He is incredibly keen on understanding how numbers work, especially large datasets of numbers (I wonder if this is in preparation for the billions of dollars he plans on making!!)
