Introduction

E - Portfolio   ----- is a creative means of organizing, summarizing, and sharing artifacts,information and ideas about teaching and of learning along with personal and professional growth.  Its reflective process can be as important as the final product. A portfolio is a sampling of the breath and depth of a persons work conveying the range of abilities, attitudes, experiences and achievements.

Measures of Central Tendency/Location

The first reporter was Mr. Richard Agapay with the topic Measures of Central Tendency/Location. He explained well the uses of mean, median and mode which are quite familiar to us since it was already discussed during our college days. Richard was so well-versed with his report coupled with his expertise in using microsoft excel. He's remarkably good.

Measures of Variability

Melvin reported Measures of Variability to us. Being a Mathematics teacher, it's quite easy for him explaining the different types of Absolute and Relative Variability. He gave different examples related to the problem plus the ordered illustrations in deriving the solutions. For me, he's report was excellent. I learned from him.

His report is presented in this link. Measure of Variability

Simple Linear Regression

    Mam  De los Reyes showed us how to compute and derived the answers using the manual or the traditional way and the modern one using the excel. She started with a prayer and followed by an ice breaker. She provided everything. Though slowly but surely. . I appreciated her so much because she really exerted effort especially using excel. At least she can say....... Its not yet too late to learn....
  
 Her report was linked below....

Simple Linear Regression

Normal Probability Distribution

  I was attentive listening to the reporter because she"s beautiful. ... She discusses the Characteristics of the Normal Curve, Areas under the Normal Curve,Application of the Normal Curve and the Divergence from normality which includes the Kurtosis and Skewness. She filled our  stomach with burger which made us alive, alert and kicking despite the difficulty of the subject matter. She presented well her report especially the animation of the power point....

Linked below was her presentation........

Normal Probability Distribution

Statistical Estimation and Sampling Theory

Though not quite ready but she able  to deliver and presented her report about Population Sample, Sampling Methods, and Sampling Distribution. She made it. I learned something which are useful in the conduct of my thesis soon.

Her report was linked below......

Statistical Estimation and Sampling

Statistical Inference

From her report, my mind was open and was able to define Statistical inference, Hypotheses, distinguished Directional and Non Directional test and was able to knew the steps in Hypotheses testing. I learned a lot from her. She clearly discussed the topic.  Congratulations Mam Tess.....
