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

Math Lab Information

 

This course will cover the same material as the 18-week Fall/Spring course but will be presented in a 9 Module 6-week format so be prepared to put in about 25 hours per week to master the material.   All students are encouraged to attend an orientation. All sections have a scheduled on campus orientation meeting and I have also scheduled a supplemental orientation where students can get help on the computer as well as an online orientation for students who would rather not come to campus.  Please see the syllabus for details.  Since there are four sections, you can attend any one of the four orientation meetings and exam times/dates. Any student who does not attend the orientation and does not contact me prior to the meeting, may be dropped from the course.  During the orientations I will be demonstrating the course management system and answering questions. Please read the syllabus prior to the orientation. Students wishing to add should join a waitlist and attend an orientation to receive an add code.

These courses will have both traditional lectures on campus and an online component. The courses meet  Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours each.  Please read the syllabus for more information.  I will be using the 10th edition of Elementary Statistics by Mario Triola along with the MyStatLab access for online homework/quizzes/videos/animations, etc.

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, take weekly online quizzes (open book) and participate in a supportive and informative classroom discussion board. Students will be using an interactive online program (Course Compass)  to complete weekly homework assignments and quizzes. 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 must attend one of the orientations that I offer for Spring 2009;  it doesn't matter which one you choose but please let me know if you choose to come later than your scheduled orientation so I don't drop you for non attendance.
