This week we spent some time taking a look at various sites to do surveys, polls, or questionnaires. There are some that go well beyond my budget and what I would need from them. Others are free and meet the basic needs I would have for creating a survey. What is really impressive is that it is so easy to get a survey completed/created, and have the results in a manageable/professional way. It actually is the part of Stats that I have been looking forward to. I like to see what people have to say and think about the topic I am studying.
I am a bit worried again as I listen to the class recording from last week with all of the terms that I do not know. I have taken to getting pen and paper, writing the term down and hitting pause button. I then have time to check it out one Wikipedia for a quick reference, then head back to the class to continue. I know that this information will be needed later in the course and probably program, but I am fearful that I am not getting it all due to my lack of vocabulary knowledge. As of now I am keeping up and am assuming that with coming classes I will find myself using this same Wiki technique to keep up as to not get lost!
Hang in there - if nothing else this experience may make you have greater empathy for your students!
