Practical Connection assignment
course : Infer Stats in Decision-Making
working as software developer
This course focuses on the descriptive and inferential statistics commonly used in organizational administration. Course activities include the application of statistical methods to research design, as well as an investigation of how these methods can contribute to school improvement. Specific concepts include measures of central tendency and variability, probability theory, estimation and significance, and correlation and regression.
It is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.
Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 700 words (or 3 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.
Requirements:·
Provide a 700 word (or 3 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.· Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.· Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.·
