From MUSE: Some thoughts on averaging . . .


This is one of the reasons I think we should be required to take a statistics class.  This, and understanding better the studies we read.

I need to learn more about it.  But there is definitely some food for thought here.

  1. Thanks for sharing the post - for reference, since Posterous has closed its doors, the site has since changed locations: http://tborash.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/why-average/

    Also, would love to hear about any ways you might have started to engage around learning more. Assessment is an extremely complex subject, and I'm always interested in hearing more about others' learning journey.
