Robert Coven, Measuring the Past, Upper School History
In Measuring the Past, “Students will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the past by examining the facts in the form of raw data and presenting their analyses through data visualizations. In this experiential learning class, students will be introduced to statistical tools that will allow them to do the work of professional historians: producing historical work and not merely consuming it.”
In this segment of Measuring the Past, students were tasked with the development of Economic Models based upon analysis of raw data using a number of tools- where a primary tool was the student version of JMP. A final product of this course segment was to present one’s findings to the class- including models, data representations, etc.
