"We covered the basics of scatter plots and descriptive statistics today, focusing on fundamental measurements of central tendency and variance. From there, we moved into talking about normal distribution and z-scores, with a focus on how to get them easily on excel. A persistent topic throughout the entire section was what the subject material meant and how to use excel to get answers quickly once figured out."

"Manipulated data sets in MS Excel. Identified and isolated relevant data fields. Created synthetic variables using sum() and composite functions. Produced summary statistics and histograms with data analysis tab. Created simple and combined bar charts. Normalized cumulative data to density functions. Discussed implications and possible research questions arising from charts."

"Tonight's session focused on the two student's practical application project for their statistics class. We went over each of their projects in turn, and I checked for understanding of core concepts for each project. In addition we made sure that the overall design of the experiments in each case were correct and correctly applied the techniques learned during the class. "

"The student and I covered the next section of linear regression statistics today, focusing on transformations of non-linear data to obtain a linear trend. We considered power and root transformations, as well as logarithmic transformations on either axis."

"The student and I reviewed some of his unit on two-sample significance testing and began looking ahead at the next unit on the chi-square distribution. The two-sample material went pretty well, but the student struggled with the chi-square material. Fortunately, we will be able to revisit those concepts over the weekend, still before his class reaches it."

"Today we got a lot done, including figuring out a coding system for his qualitative variables, along with what reporting method and testing procedure we wanted to use. In next week's final session, we'll use what the student has in his paper to create a posterboard-styled presentation on a PowerPoint slide, and the student will officially be done with his Stats class!"

"I helped the student review for her statistics test. We covered the following topics: confidence interval for the mean (large sample), confidence interval for the mean (small sample), central limit theorem, sample size determination for confidence interval, hypothesis testing (p-value approach), t-distribution, standard normal distribution."

"We went over the student's research paper due May 7. Tonight, she had to find a research project on the Web and write up an abstract consisting of Introduction, Methods, Results and Conclusion. Then we had to come up with 5 questions that can be answered by the data in the research. We then planned for May 7 deadline of outlining a hypotheses and providing an explanation of statistical procedures being used. "

"The student's finals are on Tuesday, so we continued our review. Today we mostly worked on Statistics. We also did some more physics, but it was mostly the later chapters with optics. The student is doing VERY well with Statistics now. She has been approaching it the correct way for the whole semester, so she is set up to be prepared for her final. "

"We worked through more multiple choice questions. We reviewed basic probability, including the addition and multiplication rules, and talked about the distinction between independent and disjoint events. We also talked about several useful functions on the calculator."

"Today the student and I worked on her second assignment. We covered the main principles of market elasticity and utility relative to making choices that would maximizes a business' profit and productivity. Additionally, I gave her a rundown on how to create equations in Microsoft Word, and tips on how to better format her homework in a more professional and easy to read manner."
