Activity Guide - Exploring Two Columns Answer Key

[Anjali Reyome]

Irotate class projects from semester to semester. I have created three 'Assignment Groups' in Canvas to organize the three different projects and nest the individual assignments for each project within each group. Let's call them Project 1, Project 2 and Project 3.

However, even when all the assignments are unpublished, the name of each "Assignment Group" remains in the instructors and student grade book. So this semester I want to assign Project 1, but not Project 2 and 3. I unpublish all the assignments from P2 and P3, but yet in the gradebook there are total columns for P2 and P3.

Yes, Jennifer--list to the other "K" in the answer... @kmeeusen , rather than Ken! He is, of course, correct: my method would either remove the assignments altogether or offer to move them to another assignment group. (Canvas gives you a warning to that effect whenever you delete an Assignment Group with assignments in them.) The bottom line, in the latter case, is that you would still have to mute them in that other assignment group, anyway.

I have been reviewing older question here in the Canvas Community, and I stumbled upon your question. I wanted to check in with you because we have not heard from you since you first posted this question on January 16, 2018. Have you had an opportunity to review the feedback that you have received from @kblack and @kmeeusen ? If so, did either of their responses help to answer your question? Or, are you still looking for some help with your original question? If you feel that either Ken's or Kelley's response has helped to answer your question, please feel free to mark his answer as "Correct". However, if you are still looking for some assistance from members of the Canvas Community, please let us know by posting a message below so that someone might be able to assist you. For now, I am going to mark your question as "Assumed Answered" because we've not heard back from you and because there hasn't been any new activity in this thread for quite some time. However, that won't prevent you or others from posting additional questions and/or comments below that are related to this topic. I hope that's alright with you, Jennifer. Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.

I also have this problem. I rotate many assignments and this semester because of the coronavirus lockdown I also have duplicated assignments (an online quiz along with one that is not online). I don't want to delete the assignments or assignment groups; I just don't want to display them in the gradebook when they are not being used in a particular semester. It makes it very hard to find what I need in the gradebook to have so many unused columns in it.

I have the same issue. I have a bunch of online exams I will not use this semester because this class is in person and I will simply have each unit exam as a paper submission. But I do not want to delete the unused online submissions because I will likely copy this class template in a future semester that could be online. So I will have duplicate "Unit 1 Exam," "Unit 2 Exam" etc. columns in my grade book, which is distracting and annoying, even if the ones I am not using are unpublished and (I hope) invisible to my students and not counting toward their point totals.

How can I completely remove them from the grade book I see this semester without deleting them from the class completely? I have been dragging the column widths to as narrow as possible to minimize the space taken up by assignments and exams I am not using this semester, but they are still rather distracting and make for a lot of rightwards scrolling.

i also throw my hat in seconding this issue.

in my case i have a group with several activities that serve a very specific function. They are however NOT counted toward the final grade and the % value for the group is set to 0 ...there is NO reason this group should show up as a column in my grade book

A very simple solution would be an option where, when you click the 3 dots and select -edit- for a group, along with name and % selection you see a check box with "include this group in final grade/gradebook"

I have old versions of some quizzes saved in canvas, but I am not using them this semester (I copy courses over to new semesters and rotate exam versions). They are unpublished but still display in columns in my grade book. Is there a way to keep them from cluttering up my grade book so I don't have to expend as much energy and time scrolling past them?

It may be what I will have to do, though it will also hide the unpublished assignments that I will be publishing and using later on, once they are finished and ready for the students to see. Having those in my grade book is pretty helpful, since I am a very visual person, and they serve as a reminder of what I need to do as the class progresses. I have a lot of stuff in my assignments and quiz folders. Sometimes I use old assignments as the basis for new ones too, so I like to keep them to copy portions into new assignments etc.

Students will practice making conclusions from charts and learn to use Quorum Studio for two different kinds of charts, a cross tab, and a scatterplot. Students will practice reading each type of chart before learning to make them. Students will track their work using a provided activity guide. The lesson concludes with a review of key takeaways.

This lesson introduces students to two new ways of make visualizations. The crosstab and scatter chart are new in that they allow students to see patterns across multiple variables, noticing how one might seem to change (or correlate) with another. This is good preparation for their unit project in which they'll need to make and interpret a data visualization of their own.

Discuss: How many 'Herding' breeds live a maximum of 12 years? What is the most common maximum life span for 'Working' breeds? Which breed group lives the shortest? Which breed group lives the longest? How do you know? How confident are you in your answers?

Understanding Crosstab: Understanding Crosstab: Give students some time to think and discuss why a crosstab chart might be a good choice for finding patterns like the ones indicated on this slide. Further reinforce the fact that if either column has too many values you may end up with an enormous chart.

Fill Out the Activity Guide Digitally: We can access data in many different ways. Code.org's Data Visualizer is one, but using Quorum to output a Crosstab to a file, and opening it in Microsoft Excel, is another.

Do This: Have students go to the Lesson4_App1 in the Unit9 folder of the CSP Widgets and use both the 'Words' and the 'Favorite Classes'data sets to complete page 1 of the Activity Guide.

Have students go to the Lesson4_App2 in the Unit9 folder of the CSP Widgets. This app generates an accessible scatter plot related to when states were admitted to the United States and their land mass in square miles.

Goal: Students will hopefully notice later states are relatively larger than earlier added ones. The trend does not necessarily reflect any causation, but there is a slight uptick in state size as more are added.

The key takeaway is that the Data Analysis process has four key steps. First, we collect or choose the data. Second, we clean and filter it. Third, we try to find patterns in the data, through creating charts or using statistics. Finally, we try to find new information.

For charts, we decide how to create them via the information we know about the data and by thinking about what we want to learn. For example, if we have 1 column of numerical data, we might use a bar chart or a histogram to view it. If we have two columns, cross tabs can be useful if we have strings and few items, while scatterplots can be useful if we have a lot of numerical data.

If you want to compare how different groups of your users/visitors are behaving, you should include those segments in the Segments section first (I will later show how to add them to the actual report).

To sum up, the Variables column is responsible for the data input. If you want to use some segments/metrics/dimensions, they must be included in that column. If you are missing something later down the line, you can add new items on-the-fly. Also, you can change the date range (which, obviously, also affects the scope of data input).

In this column, you can configure what the report will look like. First, there is a Technique drop-down menu (where you can select from things like Free Form, Funnel Exploration, etc.). In this blog post, I focus only on the Free Form part.

Each visualization method affects which customization options will be available in that very same column. I usually find myself working with the Table, thus it will get most of my attention in this blog post.

Line chart allows you to select the level of granularity (hour, day, week, month). Also, by default, anomaly detection is enabled. This means that you can quickly see if something is not right. There are even two ways how you can tweak it:

If you have at least one segment added to the comparisons section, a new field will appear, Pivot. This field is responsible for the placement of segments in the table. It offers 4 options: first row, last row, first column, last column. To better explain the difference, let me show you an example.

Here you can decide what dimensions do you want to use in the rows of the table. In the screenshot below, you will see what the report looks like when the Browser dimension is inserted in the Rows section. Every row of that report contains a different browser name.

Also, you can select the maximum number of columns per single dimension. For example, if a dimension has 10 unique values but you set the Show column groups to 5, only the first five dimensions will be displayed.

Here you can quickly narrow down the scope of data you are using. For example, maybe you want to exclude a certain event from the report? Then you can click on the placeholder and select the dimension that you are going to use in the filter.
