In this Class, you will need about 16 hours per week of your time to study for it
Much of your homework will be completed through the interactive reading assignments on Canvas. Interactive reading includes short quizzes and discussion boards focused around reading passages
At the end of each Module in Canvas, you will have a Module Checkpoint. You are allowed three attempts on each Module Checkpoint. I will drop your two lowest scores from this category.
Modules are organized into units on Canvas. After every three or four modules, you will have a Unit Checkpoint on Canvas. I will drop your single lowest score from this category.
Additional assignments will include StatCrunch labs (completed on StatCrunch and Canvas), group work, and other activities. The StatCrunch labs are great practice for the unit projects and final project. Labs cannot be made-up after the lab has been fully graded. I will drop your two lowest scores from this category.
The unit projects will replace traditional exams in this course. Typically, a unit project covers two or more modules. The unit projects are peer-reviewed assignments. For each unit project, no make-ups after the project is fully graded, but I will drop your single lowest Unit Projects score.
In lieu of a traditional final exam, you'll work through a final project. The final project is mandatory.
The final project is assigned in parts (typically four to six parts). After the due date for each part of the final project, you will conduct peer reviews of your classmates' work. Similarly, your peers will review your work as well, and you may correct and resubmit your work based on their recommendations.
When writing a peer review for a classmate, it is very important to provide high-quality instructive feedback. Consequently, a portion of your final project grade is based on the timely and substantive peer reviews you provide to your classmates.
You need to earn at least a D on the final project and a minimum overall grade of 70% to pass this class with a grade of C or better.
