Student's question on homework

i received a question from a student about Wednesday's homework that might be useful to more students. I've posted our exchange below. If you have questions, please let me know,

had a few quick questions on the homework that I had forgot to ask before rushing out the door to get my books. I'm confused when it said "Make a list of the steps to writing a summary." Do you mean you want us to read pages 23-27 and make a list in our own words as to what we read about writing a summary? 

Yes



Also on the "Data overflow" in Chunk 3 #7 it says "Facebook experiment (talk about defining important concepts as well) do you mean for us to think of different ways FB could have included users to be notified about this experiment or a concept to now notify users in the future when they are going to do another research experiment? 

The reference to explain about defining important concepts is just noting that "Facebook experiment" is not a word to define but a concept that needs defining. Sorry for the confusion.

If you have further questions, let me know.
