Movies DI Marking (NMHS Week 3-4: Weekend)

I started with my year 10 maths classes on the topic of statistics, and I introduced to them the summative assessment item for the topic: a directed investigation based on comparing movie ratings from IMDB. The task involved calculating 5-number summaries, constructing boxpots, histograms, and other graphs in order to compare the ratings given to movies by different demographics. The data was quite challenging to calculate 5-number summaries for due to it’s nature and size.

I marked a complete classes movies DI this weekend. My mentor teacher helped with marking the other class. Similar to the inertia prac for science, giving them this DI was one of the first things I did with them, and so they had been working on it for the whole time I had them.

I haven’t include any of the reports themselves as they include identifying details of the students, but I can include a couple of anonymised samples of student work. This is the beginning discussion and assumptions/ limitations sections of one outstanding students work.

This is an outstanding conclusion section written by another student.
