This website is intended as an introduction to the online course STA2023 and will lead you through logging on to the course website, hosted by MyStatLab. It also contains other information you may want to refer to throughout the semester. As the semester gets underway, most announcements, grades, coursework etc, will be posted on the course website. You should log on to the MyStatLab website by the third day of classes. If you have any problems, you may contact me (email is the most efficient way) or you may want to contact the student Support Service run by MyStatLab:
The book can be accessed online (ebook) with the purchase of a MyStatLab code. You can get the code through the bookstore (costs about $10 more) or you can purchase access during the registration process (a bit cheaper). You must have MyStatLab to take the class, and the only way to get one is to purchase it.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and good hygiene (specifically hand washing) are critical elements to the return to campus for FSCJ. These are shared responsibilities that reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Face masks/coverings are required on campus, including in classrooms for all class meetings. These mask/coverings are meant to protect the larger population by reducing the amount of potentially infectious respiratory droplets in the air from asymptomatic people who may be carrying the virus.
