Statement concerning Results
When comparing the effects of pizza and PowerPoint on the student’s change in performance on pre and post tests, the PowerPoint presentation had a greater positive effect than pizza. The class who received a PowerPoint presentation improved 44.62% and the class who received pizza improved 1.42%. However, the class who received pizza earned higher grades on both the pre and post-tests. These results may be influenced by a lack of student interest in the assignment. To account for this, next time we will be sure that there will be a grade attached to the assignment.

Hey kids, my ePortfolio is finally available on Clemson's web site.
You can find it here
I'm sending it to EA Sports to complement my resume, so I decided I need three more pages (to frame the specific documents). I'm using major/major/minor for these pages, but they're not done yet.
