6.+Striving+for+accuracy+and+precision

Back to home

In our very first assignment that included several activities, I strived to be as accurate as possible in my answers. For each activity, I tried to find the best method that would result in the most precise answers as possible. For example, in an activity about getting the density of water, I carefully conducted the calculations so that the significant digits would be consistent. Furthermore, I asked Mrs. Knowles about how to actually do some of the calculations such as solving for the error. As described, the numerous effort I put in to get accurate results eventually allowed me to recieve an A for the assignment. However, I also realized that there is still room for development as I sometimes worked sloppily in the other activities. Therefore, while reflecting on this habit of mind, I felt a need to stay more focused so that I can work harder and make less mistakes.
