Week 7 and 8

 I learned a lot during weeks 7 and 8. To start, during week 7 I learned about the concepts of measurement. We learned a lot of definitions. Population is the entire group of people for whom typical performance is estimated by the snstrument. Sample is the group of people actually included in the testing/study. Norming refers to the process of constructing norms or the typical performance or group of individuals on achievement assessment. We then learned about mean, median and mode. Mean is averaging, you add them and divide by how many there are. Median is the middle number. Mode is the number that occurs the most. Range is the difference between the highest and lowest number. We lastly learned about normal curve and standard divation. Normal curve is a bell-shaped curve that represents the usual distribution of human attributes. Standard diviation is the distance scores depart from the mean. 

In week 8 we put these into action. We went onto excel and created grpahs off of the data provided. We even used mean, median, mode, and standard diviation on the excel spread sheet. We first did this together as a class to learn and then we went off on our own to do it alone! I learned a lot from these two weeks and it helped me to see how I can graph students grades or scores to see how well they are doing. Overall, these two weeks were very benificial!
