Statistics in Conversation: A Demographics Study of the English Conversation Program
In my co-op work term as the English Conversation Program Assistant at the UBC Learning Exchange, I looked into the demographics of our active learners to examine how the ECP's demographics have changed since the pandemic. In particular, I studied the increasing intake of refugees and the key differences between the refugee and non-refugee learners. I presented this project to the LE staff at the end of my term.
Through this project, I grew my skills in compiling and displaying statistics using Excel and PowerPoint. I learned how to use data to tell a story and present large amounts of information quickly and effectively. I utilized my public speaking and presentation skills to UBC Learning Exchange staff, helping to inform future programming and initiatives.
