November 17 2008

Interesting statistics to ponder....

After reviewing the results of the last Alg2/Trig tests it is quite clear that study group is a success and will continue. Please review the results below.

Class Average: 69

Study Group Average: 86

That's a huge difference and since tests account for 40% of the class average this would be about a 7 point difference on your report card. Especially since we only held study group once for an hour or so.

November 17 2008
