Starting Excel. It would have been good to ask them to read the first section of the chapter (a tutorial) before class, but I didn’t, so that’s what I’ll start with …
Only 14 students came – but those 14 did really good work. We worked through the first four(!) sections of Chapter 6 – as far as the median. I saw people helping one another. There was also time and inclination to work on good computer habits – save early and often, look for multiple ways to figure out how to do things.
I will move on to bar charts next time – but worry about how the large fraction of the class absent today will be able to keep up.
