There are a total of four exams that need to be scheduled through the APC (Academic Proctoring Center). Please schedule them all as early as possible. If you need to reschedule, you can call the APC. The spots will fill up quickly, so please be mindful. Make sure to read through all of the APC exam information section for students. You will need to have your ID with you when you take the exam and I believe they will provide a graphing calculator for you.
If you do not live near campus there are alternative testing facilities available. You will need to contact APC for more information.
If you cannot take an exam during one of these windows, please make arrangements with me to take your exam early.

Tips on how to be successful in this class:
To maximize your success in STAT C1000, I recommend following these proven strategies:
Read the e-book actively: You'll find precise definitions, worked-out examples, and practice exercises that reinforce key concepts
Watch all videos completely: Pause, rewind, and take notes when necessary to ensure you understand each step
Complete homework by posted due dates: Stay current with each lesson's assignments to build strong foundations
Prepare for a consistent schedule: Assignments are due three times per week
Keep pace with due dates: Staying current aids deeper understanding and prevents overwhelming catch-up work
Engage with materials in a timely manner: Regular practice and reading help concepts build naturally
Use Pronto for communication: Connect with classmates and get quick answers to questions
Attend office hours: Take advantage of my availability (Mondays & Wednesdays 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Reach out for help: Contact your classmates and me whenever you need support or clarification
Remember: Success in an online math course requires self-discipline and consistent engagement. Since you won't see me in person regularly, it's especially important to stay connected through Pronto, actively participate in discussions, and reach out for help when needed. These strategies will help you build the mathematical confidence and skills needed for statistics and beyond.
