SUBMITTED BY:AnonymousWhen discussing basic descriptive statistics in my research methodology course, I collect data from the students in the class (height, age, etc.) to demonstrate central tendency (mean, median, mode) and range (high and low scores, standard deviation) statistics. I think the strength of personalizing data is that students can better comprehend where quantitative data come from. When analyzing large datasets it's easy to forget that these numbers correspond to some attribute of real people.
