What I've Done

I have read several scientific research paper introductions and taken notes on their contents. I have written one paragraph of my introduction, as well.

Plans for Today

I plan to finish my introduction today and ask Ms. McDonald to review it before my final submission (not due until the 27 of November).

Plans for the Future

I plan on revising my introduction over the weekend and beginning my methodology on Monday. The methodology is not due until the first of December.

The 2017-2018 data set will be compared to the baseline data set that was compiled between 2016 and 2017. As the years progress and this project continues to be conducted, more and more data will be compiled, allowing the conclusions to the experiment to be backed by more data. Normal distribution will be used in order to see if there are any outliers in the data, or any unusually high or low counts. These outliers have the potential to throw off the data analysis. Standard deviation and variance alike will be useful when determining either the spread or the closeness of the data points. A higher standard deviation means that there is more spread among the data, decreasing the potential for correlation among the data set. This indicates that there would be a smaller chance of a trend among the data. Variance is the distance each data po...

What I've Done I presented my formal progress update for the third marking period. I also began my discussion yesterday and emailed both my discussion and results portion of my scientific research paper to my mentor, Mrs. Zrada, to be revised. Plans for Today I plan to use Mrs. Zrada's corrections to tweak my results and discussion sections to be more accurate and professional-sounding. After I make the necessary corrections, I will hand in my abstract, results, and discussion, as they are all due today, 10 April. Plans for the Future I will begin working on my marking period four work once I receive the syllabus for the quarter.
