Details about this class
Welcome!!
I am excited to teach Stat 243 Winter Term. I am very organized and I created the course so that I provide all the tools need so that you do not have to purchase anything after you pay tuition. I arranged the course as a modular design. Each week, students should complete all assignments listed in that week's lesson module. These modules are available by clicking "Content" on the course navigation bar in D2L.
Due dates for each week's assignments will be listed within the module itself and all out of class homework assignments will be due every Sunday at 11:59pm leaving no guesswork. Assignments within the modules may direct students to use many of the tools contained in Brightspace, including Assignments, Discussions, or Quizzes. In addition you will need to go to Myopenmath to complete homework assignments.
I know grades are very stressful for students. Here is my philosophy around grades. Your grade reflects the level of proficiency in the course. As an Instructor I enter the grades students earn into the gradebook for each assignment, quiz, and/or exam. Your grade is calculated as a score or percentage based on what you earn out of the number of points possible. However I don't believe that one grade should destroy your grade. I have a twist on how I do proficiency grades. Most students appreciate how I deal with proficiency grading so that your grade reflects the level of proficiency you have on the topics covered.
This is a Online (Scheduled meetings) class. We meet on Zoom on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 - 8:50 pm
You will work on labs during class each week This provides students with clarification on concepts each week so that they have time to finish the homework for the week. Activities are done to expand on concepts and provide students with a way to experience and formalize the concept.
Looking forward to help guide you through your Stat journey!
Technology
I will give you all open ed resources so that you will not have to purchase extra software. Here are a few examples that we will use in class. No worries if you are not familiar with them. You will be learning how to use them in class.

We will also use Myopenmath for homework.
No show policy
Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.
