Feedback from PA1

Feedback from PA1
- read the rubric carefully and make sure you are meeting all the criteria (e.g. whether it's a table or a chart, what the rows/columns should be, how much/little information to include, what Excel functions/features should be enabled like a Filter)
- who is your intended audience?  An email to a front line supervisor should be short and to the point.  For PA2, a briefing report for senior management should have a little more substance but be careful not to include redundant sentences just to "flower things up"
- the analysis has to be correct!  In PA1 you needed to correctly count the number of employees in each category (never trained, expired, will expire and by each training type).  For PA2 you will need to use correct data for all of your charts.

Suggestions for PA2
- double-check that you haven't missed any data or counted anything twice
- each chart should have a clear message and a reason why you have included it
- three mandatory charts (raw data, histogram, ogive)
- two or more additional charts (e.g. pie, stacked column, boxplot) that focus on overexposures, other contributing factors or changes over time
- do not include your names anywhere.  If you need a name you are Saif T. Guy.  In the workplace you will have to be careful not to violate employee privacy and accidentally include their name on an injury report!

Remember:
Under no circumstances should you be sharing your files (including the raw data files) with other groups, and under no circumstances should you open files from other groups.
