a metric that does a poor job of measuring what it projects to measure. The murkiness of the variable inputs linked with real world negative repercussions makes is particularly interesting to me.

Question for the math wizards - FIJItiger MU

What is your obsession with APR? - Mo Texan MU - 5/10 16:32:57

I find it very interesting, somewhat shady, and certainly - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:41:28

If you start with 1000 being a perfect score - Mormad MU - 5/10 15:58:25

Well I agree with that math, but 44.64 isn't a possible - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 15:59:58

Correct, which probably means that the number isn't 48 - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:01:11

Or rounding... - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:03:58

But then it would have been 931 or 929, etc. (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:14:57

No, depends on how you round(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 5/10 16:35:14

Ok, what combination? You can extend it pretty far out and - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:02:46

40/43 gets you to .930232 - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:10:56

That is what I thought as well - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:14:43

I would guess that Payne was exempted - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:18:41

Clark only counted for one semester, I believe. - zodiac6 JC - 5/10 17:00:15

It all seems plausible except that Barnett part - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 17:04:06

The only other explanation is that transfers don't count - zodiac6 JC - 5/10 21:09:06

Perhaps graduating seniors don't get retention point (nm) - haeffb MU - 5/11 06:23:29

You've already stated that APR doesn't measure - Mizzmi27 MU - 5/10 17:09:37

Yes (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 17:15:57

That's dumb. - Mizzmi27 MU - 5/10 17:30:31

Beidshied is part of the reason for the 851 score - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:21:36

Yeah, it's a very strange calculation because - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:23:59

From the depiction I posted in the initial post I got from - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:26:47

I agree, but I've looked over that site - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:44:06

Which is why I land here - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:58:18

On that, we agree(nm) - Mormad MU - 5/10 17:00:32

Pie R Squared(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 5/10 16:12:30

Pies are round - Mormad MU - 5/10 16:13:21

there's waivers - wu-tangtiger MU - 5/10 15:53:56

I would agree with your last sentance - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 15:57:20

Wrong board - glue MU - 5/10 15:47:37

MU basketball today reported an APR score of 930 (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 15:52:52

So by my math - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 5/10 16:00:45

These are some of the same guys who put us on - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 16:01:49

Them, yes, me, no(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 5/10 16:03:54

trying to figure out how you were so wrong again?(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 5/10 15:47:25

Unfortunately I was again correct (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 5/10 15:51:57

Agreed, you were wrong, per usual(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 5/10 16:32:16

you were not.(nm) - SuperTone MU
