The purpose of this assignment is to begin writing the first draft of the Temporal Analysis and Qualitative Analysis subsections of the Results section. You will also create the angle-angle diagrams required for Figure 7 and learn to interpret them.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Write more results. Write the "Temporal Analysis" and "Qualitative Analysis" subsections of the "Results" section according to the Project Requirements document. Put these sections in the "results1" document created last week.

2. Create angle-angle figures. (Fig7a and 7b)

3. Write figure 7 caption.  write the figure caption for Figure 7 in the "results1" document. Refer to the Project Requirements document for specific directions on writing the figure caption.

4. Incorporate Figure 7.  Add Fig7a and 7b graphs to the "results1" document.
