3) In a minimum of 2 paragraphs, discuss the video and make note of the following things and your general responses:
a. Type of statistical methods used (what stuff we’ve learned in Chapter 1-4, etc.)
b. Type of visuals used and its effectiveness.
c. The various topics explained by statistical data in the video.
4) Required length: No fewer than 350 words.
5) The paper MUST be submitted either by .doc, .docx, or .pdf through Blackboard to receive credit.
6) For each day late, the paper will be penalized 20% of one’s possible grade.

What is more important for students is to submit a paper that thoroughly expresses one’s opinions and ideas over the subject matter, therefore connecting statistics to everyday life.
