These slides as well as some of the other graphs and charts available via the link could be very useful in helping students prep for Task 2 of the CUNY Proficiency Exam (CPE) which, among a few other things, asks students to interpret and compare at least two graphs or charts. While Baruch students generally do very well on the CPE (we have the highest pass rate within CUNY), they tend to have the hardest time with Task 2 since they are not used to dealing with graphical representations of data, as hard as that may be to believe. X-axis: Money, Y-axis: Problems. Very useful. <img src="/files/biggie.jpg" class="centered" /> This is great, Luke.
