You will be graded on your ability to collect data, analyze data, present data and reflect on your learning. This will be assessed as an assignment. Objective: You will be given a video of an odometer. Your goal is to present a speedometer that reflects what you see on the odometer. The objective of this assignment is to understand the relationship between a changing dependent variable and its rate of change with respect to another independent variable.
