To complete this assignment, I’m asking you to do the following: (1) Read about an assigned United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG). (2) Find one report with a data graphic related to that goal using data collected from a related Florida state agency. (3) Critically assess how quantitative data is presented in this report using the concepts and ideas we learned in lessons 1 and 2.
Why am I being asked to do this? This assignment will give you a taste of what it’s like to research globally-relevant topics, read real-world data reports, and present your thoughts in an organized and informative way. This assignment is designed to ensure that you are learning:
the vocabulary and symbols used in social statistics.
how to measure variables and test relationships at different levels.
the basics of descriptive statistics.
to become critical consumers of statistical information.
about global systems and issues and associated dimensions (e.g., historical, political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, technological).
to formally report findings from statistical analyses.
