Course Description: This course covers data analysis, sampling and sampling distributions, measures of central tendency, measures of variation, probability, hypothesis testing, correlation, prediction, linear regression, statistical inference for means and proportions, and non-parametric methods to analyze appropriate data.

Assignments: This general category includes: Online homework, group problems solving, participation, and extra credit. Online Homework will be assigned for each section. (No make-up assignment). Attendance and participation are required for success and we will have some group work assignments done in class.

My Math Lab: Our textbook for this course comes enhanced with an access code to My Math Lab. Go to , and use the code to register yourself. Complete the homework assignments by due date.

Study hints: Read the appropriate sections after each class carefully and then do all the homework assignments before next class. This is an important step to successfully learn the material. The general rule of success requires that you spend 3 hours studying for each one hour you spend in class. Team-up with a classmate for study outside of the class time. Actively participate in class by asking questions when you need more explanation, provide answers to questions asked during class. You are encouraged to form complete each chapter review and test. Always remain clam, and keep a positive mental attitude toward the course.

Project: There will be an extra credit project (100 points) assigned at the beginning of

the semester. This extra credit project can be added to the total points of tests.

Grading:

The best five of the six tests is 50% of your final grade, Quizzes are 15% of your final grade, Assignments are 15% of your final grade and the Final Exam (comprehensive) is worth 20 % of your final grade.

Base on the percentage of your total score, a letter grade will be assigned using the following scale: 90-100% A; 80-90% B; 70-80 C; 60-70 D and below 60% will receive F.

Technical Violations: The use of any devices, other than your TI-calculator, is strictly off-limits. This includes cell phones, pagers, internet devices, ipods, laptop computers, texters of any kind. Any use at all will result in a “technical violation” against the assignment grade.

Academic Dishonesty: Any instances of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic “zero” on the test, with the immediate possibility of the issue being taken to the division dean, and being place on the student’s academic record.

Non-Attendance Drops:

Ordinarily, it is the student’s responsibility to drop a course at the Administration Building if the student wishes to discontinue. However, a student who has missed more than two full week’s worth of class can be dropped for non-attendance.

ACCESS Students:

Students who have a classifiable physical or learning disability should be registered with the ACCESS office so that appropriate adjustments can be made in the classroom and for test. If you have not already done so, please contact ACCESS at 378-1461 for coordination of disability verification and accommodation assistance. Their office is just to the right of the Campus Center.
