Another take on study effectiveness: Harry

Harry, a member of group number 5 features on his blog his group's study effectiveness presentation. Here's the link:

Harry Kim COMP1900 Assignment: Powerpoint slide

Harry's group did a very good job in comparing the usefulness of spreadsheets and databases as methods of storing data, and highlighted situations where the each would be of more use. It is a shame that the nature of the online presentation precludes the embedding of dynamic presentations as a demonstration of the usefulness of this tool would have been welcome.

Harry's group was correct in concluding that their results seemed not to be consistent with the work-study hypothesis, which was in contrast to the results from my group including Anthony and Marie. Much like my group, Harry's group pointed out that a small sample size prevented more definitive conclusions, and it was a good move to look to the literature to find more comprehensive studies - including the study from which the hypothesis was drawn.

Overall, a good presentation worth looking at.
