Hi. I was wondering if we will be discussing the paper on how to do it or more guidelines on it. I want to try and work on it over Thanksgiving break and I am not sure on how to start it or what you expect us to have on it. Thank you for your time.
I was not planning on discussing the paper any more than I already had. I assume you have read the guidelines. If you have specific questions, please ask, otherwise I'm not sure how else to be helpful.
This article is a prime example of how a little knowledge can be detrimental if applied without complete understanding. The old cliché "patience is a virtue" comes to mind when acting upon recent data without through, lengthy testing.
