Elementary Statistics syllabus

How does this course work?

While MAT 13 is a fully online class, MAT 213-Lab for Statistics will have live class sessions via Zoom on Fridays 7:50 AM to 11:00 AM (with some breaks of course!). During these sessions, we will collaborate on activities that will reinforce the course material you learned over the week. If you are not able to attend every Friday, I will be recording the Q&A/feedback portion of the class and you can make up the group activities by completing them individually.

Also, this course follows a weekly schedule and is facilitated by -- a real person! Each week you'll interact with your peers in several collaborations that will occur in real time, and complete a series of activities and assignments before and after the group collaborations. I am mindful that online students may have restrictive schedules and perhaps are even juggling multiple obligations including a job, a family and other classes. Yet, you are the only ones that can determine if this type of schedule will work for you.

Please complete this Google Survey as soon as possible regarding your availability so that I can form groups based on when people can work together.

• This is a 4-unit college level course plus a 1-unit lab; so you can expect to commit about 10-14 hours a week on our content.

• In this course, there are 7 modules that contain 30 units. Within each unit, there are assignments and collaboration components. Some of the Collaboration sessions include an assignment called a Preparation that should be done before the collaboration and then another assignment called an Exercise (basically your homework) to be done after the Collaboration.

• Every unit has an Exercises component; whereas only some of the units have a preparation. The Preparation and Exercises will be done individually.

• Collaboration sessions for this course are critical! In a Collaboration session, you will work with your group online to complete the material. For this, you will be using Zoom (video conferencing software) and a courseware platform called RealizeIt. These collaborations will be recorded and made available to me for review. I will then give a grade to your group based upon your group's answers.

  • If you miss a collaboration, please let your group and me know so that we can workout an alternative path for that particular unit.

I am here for you!

Your participation is an important part of the success of this course, but we also recognize that you may have family and/or obligations, or that unexpected emergencies can occur specially during a global pandemic. If you've reached a point where you can't meet a deadline, please contact me and your group members right away--we'll work together to make a path to success.
