Got my grade for Week 5 and thought I’d share the statistics now that we’re half way through the class:
Still 11 people participating:
5 people posted 4 times
3 people posted 5 times
2 people posted 7 times (including me)
1 person posted 8 times
But what throws me are the “Posting Statistics for Hawthorne”
It says:
Average Post Length: 3084
Minimum Post Length: 1249
Maximum Post Length: 6021
Average Post Position: 4
But that’s not right – or even CLOSE My longest post (my initial discussion one) was only 1,111 words. My next six ranged in size from 59 words to 359. I thought it might be some sort of rolling average but I went back and looked at Weeks 3 and 4 as well and the numbers are all over the place, with too wild of swings to be a rolling average.
Got me.
