The New York Times' education section, "The Learning Network," presents an interesting assignment for students in "The Cost of College: Graphing Tuition Prices and Other Expenses."
The piece ask students to look at these questions: "How do the costs of two-year, four-year, public and private colleges vary and compare?

They compare and investigate college education costs and create graphs to represent the data, and then research and graph their own anticipated college costs."
