The numerical calculations that used to form the basis for beginning statistics courses can be done using computers and calculators.

We will study the topics including the nature and presentation of data, measures of central tendency, probability distributions, normal, binomial distributions and estimates, sample sizes, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. (Chapters 1 – 10)

Classroom Expectations and Policies
Expectations:
I expect you to be in class every day; you can expect me to be in class every day, too. I expect you to be prepared for class every day; again, you can expect the same from me. I expect you to come see me if you’re having difficulty; you can expect me to provide the help you need. When you miss a class—for any reason—I expect you to read the text, copy someone else’s notes or use mine, and attempt the homework before coming to ask me about the material. In return, you can expect me to clarify any parts of the missed class that are still confusing. Finally, I expect you to treat me and your fellow classmates with courtesy and respect; you can expect the same treatment from me.
“Expectations for classroom behavior are outlined in the Student Code of Conduct, available in the catalog, schedule, and online. Students may not engage in any activity which the instructor deems disruptive or counterproductive to the goals of the class.
Beepers, pagers, and cell phones, media devices, and/or other electronic devices (such as electronic smoking cessation devices) are disruptive to the learning environment and should not be used in class.
