Course Description: AP Statistics is designed for students who wish to earn college level work in statistics. It is designed to include topics on data analysis and probability. Students will be expected to conduct independent projects that will involve explorations into project design, data gathering and organization, data treatment, and statistical reporting of the findings. A project for each quarter will be selected to reflect the statistics being studied at that time. It is expected that at least one of these projects will be interdisciplinary in nature and involve other courses in which the student is enrolled. The course will also emphasize the use of technology in data analysis, both with calculators capable of statistical reporting and graphing, and with relevant statistical software in a computer lab setting. Each student must take the Advanced Placement examination through the College Board for possible college credit.

Class Rules and Procedures for Managing Student Behavior

1. Entering the room: Enter the room quietly and immediately. Begin working on the warm-up activity found on the board at the front of the classroom. Do not disturb other students when you enter the classroom. Sharpen your pencil before class begins.

2. Picking up materials: Handout and other materials that you need each day will be placed at the front of the classroom. Acquire these materials before you have a seat and begin your warm-up.

3. Arriving late: Do not disturb the class if you arrive late. Come in quickly, sign the tardy book, and begin your work. See the teacher at pre-dismissal time to discuss your tardiness.

4. Leaving the classroom: No student should ask to leave the class during the first twenty minutes of class. If you must leave the classroom, a completed pass must be presented to be signed for a hall note. Do not stop instruction to ask to leave the room, unless it is an emergency.

5. Class Dismissal: The bell does not dismiss the class,, the teacher dismisses the class. If you were late or signed the tardy log on that day, please come up and see me before the end of class.
