This week in class we watched videos and read about Bill Tancer. I actually enjoyed what I was reading and watching. The longer video (Bill Tancers Video) was very interesting. While watching it I thought to myself people already collect data this way. But Bill took it an entire different level. He did catch my eye with prom dresses. I'm like why is a guy so interested in prom dresses, ha! Now I know. I like how he tested his idea about the dancing with the stars scenario. I agree too that people do lie on surveys, I do not think we will ever get an accurate answer. We may get the average answer but not accurate answer. I can see myself doing more reading on Bill Tancer or things he writes about it. Again, I never thought to go that deep into data collection. That is something I would love to do.
This week assignment for the group was understandable. I will need more practice problems for the group assignment with the z-scores, etc. I loved how our survey turned out. We received more responses then the assignment asked for, I was happy to discuss the results and see how different fields of study thought about the technologies we should use and/or teach before a student graduate. I loved the futurist idea. People always wonder what is the next career boom, this assignment did just that. If gave us the opportunity to discuss how each of us feel is the next boom for the introductory of a new job. Every group idea so far looks exciting.
Once again, in this class I am learning a lot. :) Thanks Jim and to my group members for helping me gain more knowledge- Curtis and Rob.
