New Blog (to complete by Monday February 1)

Take any concept that we have covered so far in the class and explain it. Basically, talk us through what it means or how we calculate it. Hopefully, your explanation will help you make more sense of the material and assist your classmates in reviewing/understanding everything that we have done! Be detailed in your discussion and be sure to read others' posts so that you can have a nice review of the material.

As mentioned on Blackboard, please go to this website, read the graphs, and discuss one statistic and one trend here (thus, post again). Let's practice!

Topic 2

Find some meaningful statistics that relate to your professional or personal life. (Go online and search... there are so many websites out there.) Share the statistics here, explain what they means, and discuss why you found them meaningful or useful. Do not just throw out some boring, useless statistics -- do something interesting!
