Spring 2018
This course was cancelled on Jan. 12, 2018 due to low enrollment.
I'm excited about this hybrid course. I have taught Distance Learning classes for many years, and I have had so many students tell me that they really wish they could come to a class each week to get some help. I think the hybrid course is a much better option than a strict distance learning course!
Since it only meets for one hour a week, however, it is still basically a Distance Learning course - you have to do a lot of work on your own. So you need to consider all the same cautions I give my Distance Learning students. Here they are:

About a week before the course begins, you can sign up for your free 14-day trial of WileyPlus and start working on the course. More information will be posted here (and in Blackboard) by Tue. Jan. 9, 2018.
Course materials: (Used in several sections of the course, including both sections I am teaching.)
Title and authors of our course materials: Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data, by Lock, Lock, Lock-Morgan, Lock, and Lock. 2nd ed. 2017 Wiley Publishing Company.
Our software is StatKey, It is a free statistics software package, prepared by our text's authors. Many videos and other information are available from that website.
The book is not sold separately from the online materials at WileyPlus. The online materials are required in our course because they contain MANY things to help you study, including videos of every example in the text and overview videos as well.
The least expensive way to purchase it is to sign up for a free two-week trial of the online book and then, after you get started in it, decide whether you want to purchase a copy of the physical book for an additional $30 in addition to the cost ($80) of continuing in the online materials.
It is also possible to buy. for about $137, a package with a copy of the physical book and a code for access to WileyPlus from the ACC bookstore. Note that, as soon as you open that package, it is not returnable.
