First Day of Class

Thursday, September 30, 2010

The day started off with group work trying to identify traits of a specific artifact. An observing exercise to help us hone in our inferring skills. Our artifact was the StormTrooper Mr. Potato head which was missing its hands. The Potato head was clean and silly.

Next we were handed the syllabus to look over and ask any questions if anything needed clearing up. The point was brought up that the total points in the course added up to 90, which caused a in class discussion about where the extra 10 points should be divided up too.

After the discussion we had to predict the number on one side of a cube. The curve ball was thrown when we all realized it was the number 2 but not that it had a grey background. This was the point of perhaps your observation is wrong.

Variables - on a die
Numbers categorical not ordered.
Shadings, yes or no?
Categorical unordered?
Making a prediction based on present information.
