TappedIn Discussion is going to be about modeling. As you go through the day, think about something that could be modeled. It could be something you do or something you read about someone else doing. It should be something that would make a graph of something versus time. Think about the ones we have already done to help you.

I have posted an idea to the forum as an example. The discussion is called Modeling Real Life. Reply to that thread with your idea. DO NOT START YOUR OWN THREAD. Refer to the rubric given in class for how this will be graded. Post your idea by 12/9.
