Bear with me as a blog post is not the best place for a data table because of alignment problems. But I'm sure you'll be able to follow anyway. The numbers will be ordered as follows: Number of times subject spoke in one class, total duration of time spoken, percentage of class time spent with subject speaking.
12 1:55 4%
18 1:31 3.5%
6 0:53 2%
10 2:48 7%
15 2:46 6%
Mean = 12.5 2:09 5.7%
Median = 13 2:20:30 5%
Range = 12 2:10 6%
There you have it! Can you imagine being in a 45-50 minute college class and one person who is not the professor speaking this much? I have to admit that the last few days she has gotten better. But not after being on the receiving end of a few comical, not-so-subtle hints from other students that her talking has become excessive. In case you want more, never fear, I am not yet done with this experiment. Next, I will perform these same operations on all the other members of the class combined and do a comparative analysis of the two groups. Thank you for indulging me in this little experiment. I am well on my way to new discoveries in the social sciences.
i wonder if the ol whoopie cushion under the chair will embarrass her enough to shut her hole
