Statistics AP CLASSROOM POLICIES
Welcome to Statistics AP, one of the advanced placement classes at NPHS. The following are general policies and guidelines for this class. Please read them, understand them, and discuss them with your parent/guardian. Any of these policies or rules may be modified as needed.
General Classroom Rules
1. Respect and be polite to students, teachers, administrators, and school staff.
2. Bring necessary materials to class each day (textbook, paper, pencil, calculator [TI-83 or 84]).
3. Be in your seat and ready to work when the bell rings.
4. Wait for me to dismiss you at the end of class; do not put your things away early.
5. No food, drink, gum, hats, brushes, combs, sunglasses, etc., in class.
6. Use the restroom during breaks. Class time use of the restroom will require remaining in
class during break the same amount of time that was spent out of the classroom.
7. Obey all school rules.
Homework/Classwork/Examinations
1. We will employ a spiraling curriculum model for presentations and discussions. This means
that concepts will be presented with the expectation that they will reappear multiple times in
the course, each time at a deeper level and associated with added breadth.
2. Homework/classwork will be assigned regularly and collected as announced. Solutions must
clearly indicate processes as well as solutions.
3. Unorganized or incomplete homework will receive less credit (fewer points).
4. Statistics projects will include individual and group work.
5. Quizzes will cover portions of a chapter.
6. Exams will be given at the end of each chapter. AP-like (multiple choice and free response)
cumulative exams will be given several times during the term. A final examination will be
given at the end of the term.
7. Access to supplemental textbook can be obtained at http://bcs.whfreeman.com/tps3e/
