Section Description

This course will prepare you to use statistics within your field of study and in your daily life. Concepts presented in this course will be useful to critical thinkers in an increasingly data-focused society, and techniques covered will provide a foundation for understanding real-world research......TOPICS: Basic overview of data classification; study design and data collection; descriptive statistics; correlation and regression; confidence intervals; hypothesis testing..... Note: I tend to go a tad slower than other instructors.

Section Expectation

Class time will consist of lessons to explain concepts, problem solving, discussions, and activities around key concepts. During work times, I encourage you to work with your peers and to ask me questions. I also encourage you to participate in class discussions EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT that you are on the right track. Usually, the class learns more from working through someone’s confusion than we do from someone volunteering a “perfect” answer. ....... The course will use an online platform called WileyPLUS to access assignments and the e-textbook for the course, which is called "Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data, 3rd edition, by Lock, Lock, Lock, Lock & Lock." Purchase of a printed copy of the textbook is not required. Access to WileyPLUS is required. The cost for WileyPLUS access in the most recent semester was around $77 when purchased online from the publisher.

Evaluation

(Subject to change)... Grades will be based on: WileyPLUS assignments, weekly quizzes, 2 unit assessments (take home exams focusing on applications), a group project, and iClicker participation.
