 Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.  Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

Online Math 142- 5352/5353
Fall 2009
Statistics with Probability

Syllabus Online Math 142 Fa09

 

 

This course covers the same material as the on-campus version and is presented as 15 modules in a 17-18-week format. Although the course is not "self-paced", you can decide when, during each week, to do all the required work. The typical student spends about 12-15 hours per week to master the material for this 4-unit course. In addition to the text work, students will be visiting exciting websites each week to view statistics in real life, complete 15 weekly online homework assignments and participate in a supportive and informative classroom discussion board. Students will be using an interactive online program (Course Compass)  to master the material. There will be three on-campus exams and students may use a note card with formulas for each exam so memorizing formulas will not be necessary. Students are requested to attend one of the orientations that I offer for Fall 2009..

Cick on the syllabus to the left for more detailed information.  The Course Compass ID for this course is: kresch68196 and the zip code for DVC is 94523. That is some  information you will need to register at Course Compass.

To access the course during the first week of classes go to http://coursecompass.com

 If my classes are full and you want to add, please add the waitlist and come to the Saturday orientation and I will try to accommodate you. I rarely turn online students away that are on the waitlist but, of course, if the demand is ridiculous I might not be able to take everyone. That has not happened yet! Be sure to take care of your prerequisite issues since I have no control over that.....you must take up the issues with admissions and records at DVC!

Spring 2010 Self Paced Program
 

 

I've never taught this before so as I find out more about it, after some training, I'll let you know! I'll be doing whatever has been designed by the SP coordinator so these sections should be very similar to all the other SP sections. These are self-paced, computer- based courses that meet on campus in the Pleasant Hill DVC Learning Center, 2nd floor. Instead of traditional lectures we have more of an open lab where students can work, get help on an individual basis and take exams.
