Writing Component: Since STAT 1 satisfies Area B4 of the GE requirements (see the GE Area 4 Learning Goals below), students will be given regular writing assignments or online homeworks that require written responses. Students are advised to practice interpreting the results of statistical analysis using technical and non-technical language while solving assigned word problems dealing with real life situations. Class discussions will emphasize this writing component requirement of the course through the above criterion.
GE Area 4 Learning Goals: Solve problems by thinking logically, making conjectures, and constructing valid mathematical arguments; make valid inferences from numerical, graphical, and symbolic information; apply mathematical reasoning to both abstract and applied problems, and to both scientific and non-scientific problems
