Student Finances & Standard Deviation!

Aims and Objectives from Emily: 

*Make valid observations about your results.
*Graphically display your results and use calculations to support your observations.
*Be able to evaluate the limitations of your data.

Coming into college as half day only, I instantly sat down for Catherine's Student Finance talk. This talk has been very informative on my next steps and as for the future. I firstly identified how much my parents earn annually and then used the calculator provided on the website to see how much I can loan out. With Norwich University of the Arts confirmed as my firm choice, I am able to stay at home for the first year to not only save money but also find new colleagues to move with for the second year forth (if I do). I also learnt about bursaries and scholarship, which I will not be eligible for but that is ok! Soon, I will set up an account at Student Finance England and begin the process. I have discussed this with Catherine and parents for a good guide/plan.

We then had Emily for the remaining half of the day. There, she covered what to do for U26_A4T2. This was all about how we represent and interpret our data. I have been doing this for the past week at home, therefore I am half way through (quite ahead) and understand reasonably well of what needs to be done. However, she retaught the class Standard Deviation which is the mean of the mean, to help work out the spread from the average of the secondary data's results. The purpose of this is to help further prove or disapprove my hypothesis with analytical evidence. After today, I understand what to do now.

Moreover, I brought my portfolio in and Adam took a picture of me for the CEIAG Newsletter, followed by a short story containing my quote, his thoughts and other comments from Norwich University of the Arts. I am happy to share it when it is released. Big thanks to the editor, Jo.

Since I have completed U29 incredibly early with a few other peers, I have permission to not come in on unimportant days (which I have been doing for the past week). However, I will be off from today to near-end of March as it is review week and upcoming Easter. The only days I will/might come to Develop is every Thursday for Maths. 

Today has been very productive once again, see you soon!
