ANNOUNCEMENTS

There will be no class on Wednesday, August 15th.  Please read chapters 24 & 25 as there will be a question on the quiz about when to use either technique.  Instead of Wednesday’s normal office hours, I will be in the classroom starting at 10:30 (the normal class time) to answer any questions or help you with studying.

 

The final quiz will be on Thursday, August 16th.  It will be similar to the other seven quizzes.  We will have no final exam. 

I don’t know when I will have grades ready.  However, if you email me from the account on the card you filled out on the first day of class, I will send you your grade on the last quiz and your final grade in the class.

You can pick up your quizzes from me next quarter.  Just email me when next quarter starts to set up a time.

 

If you need to make a picture (histogram, boxplot, etc) for your homework, you can do it one of two ways (unless specified):

1. Use graph paper and do it by hand (good for small data sets) or

2. Make the graph on your TI calculator and use the GraphLink in the Math Learning Center to print off the graph.  They can help you with that.

 

Projects

Project 2 was due on Monday, July 30.  You need to design both an observational study and an experiment.  Here is the assignment.

If you would like some samples you can look at (pulled off of doaj.org), here they are.  If you’re looking for ideas, look at the methods and/or procedures sections.  Note that in each journal a lot of field specific words are used.  Try to ignore those for now and read about the methods they use.
