150 Attendance
Welcome to Math 150- Introductory Data Analysis.
Attendance Policy
For traditional in-person courses, you are expected to attend class every week.
For Distance Education courses, there are no in class meetings. However, I reserve the right to arrange in person meetings if I deem necessary.
Instructure Canvas will be used as the primary communication platform and for following the timeline for assignments. All correspondence (including announcements of Conferences) will take place in the Discussions (tab on the left). You should check Instructure Canvas at least once per week to see if I've sent any class emails or discussion posts.
Assignments are all done online in PearsonMyLab.com
Links to an external site. as prescribed here in the modules and completion of these assignments will serve as the basis for your grade. Students are expected to login into Instructure Canvas and PearsonMyLab each week. I will be checking email, discussion posts, and your PearsonMyLab HOMEWORK progress throughout the week. Almost every week there is an assignment. The only graded assignments are under "Homework" and "Quizzes & Tests" in PearsonMyLab. Anything else you do (i.e. Study Plan, Text Exercises, Practice Quizzes, etc.) is just practice to get ready for the graded assignments and do NOT count toward your grade. The assignment(s) should ideally be started by the following Monday by 11pm. Not starting an assignment is the same as missing a class and will be used for attendance reporting purposes. You can move ahead to the next assignment at anytime. Also, you may reattempt any question (upto the maximum # of attempts) until the due date.

Helpful Resources: I have provided Class Notes and Power Point Slides for each week's session in Instructure Canvas Modules. Class Notes are meant to complement readings and contain definitions, concepts, formulas (in the format you would put them in a graphing calculator) and using technology instruction (StatCrunch and Excel). In addition, PearsonMyLab has Video instruction, Animated instruction, and worked out examples.
Instructor help will only be given on examples NOT graded exercises.
