DiscussionWeek 6 Discussion
DiscussionWeek 6 Discussion<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>ReflectionThroughout
the last six weeks, you have learned to critically evaluate data and compute several statistical analyses. Think back to the first week of the course when you began this journey into the world of data analysis and presentation.
How have your beliefs and attitudes changed? You may find that you now think differently about statistics you read or hear about in the news and advertisements. You may have a better understanding of research articles you read in your coursework. Hopefully, you have become a more critical consumer of information. Take some time to reflect on how you have grown and learned this term, and plan how you will incorporate your new knowledge into your everyday life.
With these thoughts in mind, post by Day 3 a response to the following:
-Reflecting on what you have learned over the past six weeks, explain how your perception of statistics has changed.
-Describe at least three specific ways you will apply what you have learned this term to your personal and professional life.
-Explain how what you have learned in this course will impact your approach to at least one of the features of social change (Scholarship, Systems Thinking, Reflection, Practice, Collaboration, Advocacy, Civic Engagement, Humane Ethics), described in the Expanding Our Understanding of Social Change report in this week’s Required Resources.Be sure to fully explain your rationale for each of your answers, and support your ideas with evidence from the text and Learning Resources.
Provide an APA reference list.
Respond by Day 5 to at least one other colleague’s original post in one or more of the following ways:
-Ask a probing question and provide insight into how you would answer your question and why.
-Ask a probing question and provide the foundation, or rationale, for the question.
-Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight.
-Agree with a colleague and offer additional (new) supporting information for consideration.
-Disagree with a colleague by respectfully discussing and supporting a different perspective.Support your reply to a colleagues’ post with at least one reference (textbook or other scholarly, empirical resources). You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with evidence (including in-text citations) from the source and provide a reference.
