Hello!  Can you show me a list of all of the years for which there is data?
select distinct year from degrees
Thank you!  Can you update this list to include how many degrees were conferred each year?
select sum ( degrees ), year from degrees group by year
Thanks!  Lastly, (I am about to run out of time) can you filter that list to show me which year had the most degrees conferred?
select year from degrees group by year order by sum ( degrees ) desc limit 1
