Try-It #11: Calculating Readability Statistics

You can use your textbook, any notes that you have, and the available course pages in Canvas for help as you work on these questions.

This activity focuses on different readability statistics and what they measure. The questions will show you how to calculate statistics for your own writing and identify the limitations of these statistics. After you try out this process, you can apply it to your own projects.

Assessment: Canvas automatically marks your work Complete when you submit it.  All you have to do is TRY the activity. It’s okay if you make mistakes. Recognize however that if you have not put in an effort to do the work, I may remove the Complete mark.
