My suggestion for Pollock I though about this wee is to try and get the diagrams and words to align on the same page a little bit  better. There are times the diagrams are like a whole page or two behind. This week SPSS Statistics went very smoothly I have no complaints. I flew through the reading and the questions on correlation and linear regression, no problem. It is weird to think that we are done with Pollock and pretty much covered his whole book so quickly. I honestly would not mind having worked on SPSS statistics all semester long and not doing a group project, but I guess now comes the time for us to apply what we have learned so far this semester. I like our topic for our group project, but I can’t say I am excited about having the project. Just with IS capstone, a long research paper for Spanish, and the writing assignments I have coming up for US history, I am just feeling a little weighted down.

As far as Thyne, it felt pointless doing the reading because I retained very little of it. He includes a lot  of complex information in a very small space, with in my opinion poor explanation. I did not understand from his diagrams, or for the reading how it is he calculated the discordant and concordant pairs. Also, considering what we were doing on SPSS statistics I get that Thyne is like the background information on what is being calculated for us on SPSS statistics, but it seems like extra for our purposes of the class. Like I don’t remember any of the formulas like tau-c, because I never actually needed it to calculate anything, so it was irrelevant and just extra information.
