Welcome New Class of 2009 2010!!
Grade 11 Statistics 2009-2010
Teacher: Mr. Schvaneveldt
http://stats11ist2010.blogspot.com/
Our Text this year will be : Stats: Modeling the World Second Edition by Bock/Velleman/De Veaux
This is an Advanced Placement (AP) course on Statistics that will teach not only the foundations of the subject but also a rich application of this practical math. Students will study the following areas: Data, Standard Deviation, the Normal Model, Scatterplots, Association, Correlation, Regression, Re-expressing Data, Randomness, Sample Surveys, Experiments, Probability Rules, Random Variables, Probability Models, Distribution Models, Intervals for Proportions, Testing Hypotheses, Comparing Two Proportions, Means, Paired Samples and Blocks, Analysis of Variance, Multiple Regression, and Inferences for Regression.
Daily Lessons: We will typically cover a chapter a week. I will explain the concepts by breaking down the concepts into simple steps as you will copy down the lesson into your notes. If you do not understand a question, PLEASE ask. The more questions you ask (about Stats of course!!) the better you will be prepared for the quizzes and tests. You can ask during class, after class, during recess, but NOT during lunch…leave me alone…I am grumpy when I am hungry. I see questions as a sign of intelligent life. Save all your work for each quarter so that you can check your grade. If you cannot prove your grade, my grade counts.
Quizzes: There will be several quizzes before we begin the lesson. Review your notes and work on your assignments each day and these quizzes will be easy. I will typically grade the quizzes. Quizzes missed are not made up.
Homework: Homework will be assigned most every lesson but often it will be finished in class if you work hard. It is to be kept in a notebook that will be collected at various times during each quarter. If you don't understand a question, you are not to leave it blank nor with a ?, but are to try to work it out, circling the problem to ask me at a later time. Homework will vary for those who are taking the advanced class and those who are taking the standard track. This does NOT mean that the advanced class will necessarily have more assignments but the type of questions will be more challenging.
Tests: Tests will be given after every unit over the material covered. There will also be an end of the year test to evaluate what you learned this year. There will be a bonus question just for those who take the test at the scheduled time. No bonus will be given for late tests regardless of the reason for the absence. Make-up tests might also be another format than the rest of the class to reduce cheating. Again the advanced class will have a more challenging evaluation that will specifically prepare them for the AP test.
Your grade will be calculated as follows:
Tests: 70%
Homework Book: 15%
Quizzes: 15%
If a student is absent, he is responsible for checking the blog site to make up what he missed!
What Mr. S expects:
1) You have in class each day:
pencil, red pen, 2 notebook (quadri one for notes, one for work)
text book
Scientific calculator, or Graphing calculator
2) You need to have a good attitude in class
3) You need to talk to Mr. S with respect
4) You need to respect fellow students
5) Turn your work in on time!! Late one day -10% Late 2 days- “0”
6) Write neatly so that I can understand
7) Do not cheat. Automatic “0”
