Asks:  How can i merge cells in a row without altering the other rows in a table.  On: 9/7/2009 7:47:00 PM5519  709EvolutionDatabases Answer: If your goal is to display specific row with merged cells, this can be done by specific queries as described in section 8. It is, however, not possible to permanently modify table to have different cells in different rows. In databases, each row in a table always have the same cells (fields).

Asks:  All of the information provided in this comes from our previous weeks work, right? And this assignment is putting it altogether and elaborating. Are we supposed to do every single bullet point in the outline of this project or are these suggestions and points you should touch upon in the actual vocal part of the presentation  On: 7/26/2009 10:33:22 PM5512  290Causal Models Answer: Yes, you have been working on this and getting ready for this throughout the second half of the course. Now you need to narrate your work and present the slides so others can listen in and understand what you did. You are expected to touch every point in the assignment but keep in mind to be brief.

Asks:  I am really confused about couple things...first of the all, the story board or "personal improvement project" part of the course requires that the final storyboard of 10 minutes be on You Tube and here is no written report requirement for this part of the assignment correct? Secondly, the causual diary aspect of the class requires a final written report and not narrated report, am I correct? Because for this week, I have been preparing a written rough draft based on the steps in the lecture..  On: 7/24/2009 12:06:28 AM5510  290Causal Models Answer: There are two projects in the course: personal improvement and causal diary. Both need to be reported online in the form of narrated slides so other students in the course can see your work and comment on it. In preparing each project we ask for a number of intermediary products. We look at these products to see if you are doing the correct analysis and we provide you feedback. Once everything is checked with the instructor, then you can prepare the narrated slides. We have done this to reduce your effort and make this assignment easier for you.

Asks:  Also, since you only told us on the syllabus to collect data for two weeks, is that all we are supposed to write a paper on? and What is the difference between the control chart and the causal diary?  On: 7/22/2009 4:43:16 PM5509  290Causal Models Answer: Yes, two weeks of causal diary suffices. The difference between causal and normal diary that you were keeping in your personal improvement is that in causal diary you have the additional information about what events might have caused the change in your behavior.
