It's been a long time...

....since we last met.  Today we reviewed your homework from before the Hurrication (see post below).  We discussed how it is important to standardize data collection as well as when planning your experiment think about how you will present your data.

We discussed part of the paper from Kelly et. al (see below) on why a pie chart is NEVER a good idea (click the picture to make it bigger).


Homework: Design an experiment to test if squirrels prefer spicy or non-spicy acorns.  Remember to think about the data that you will collect, sample size and creating a standardized procedure.

In class on Thursday you will present and defend your ideas to the class.
