Fall 2014IECP

Jackie Gianico

Tom and Jackie were talking about

their new office space. Jackie said:“ You have more

window, but I have more windows.”

What does this mean?

Be careful with that joke. It might

backfire.

Observation: In the IECP, about 35% of students are female (65% are male).Of the female students, 18% have at least one absence.Of the male students, 33% have at least 10 absences.-Can you construct a hypothesis as to why?

I think it is quite obvious that technology like Hulu

and Netflix is revolutionary; it has

completely changed the way we watch TV.
