Several teaching techniques are used to help you learn the content of Elementary Psychological Statistics. You shall use a textbook and its study guide. There shall be lectures with discussion and occasional demonstrations. Perhaps, you will see some films or videos to assist in visualizing what is read in the text or discussed in class. Handouts summarizing key ideas in lectures will be distributed to students enrolled in the course.
Problem sets to provide practice in applying statistical knowledge are required exercises.
A series of self-assessments will be administered to help clarify any misunderstanding of the course content as you learn it. These materials, tutorials, announcements, and more shall appear on a password protected Website associated with this course at socsci.uwosh.edu. You should understand that lectures are not designed to be an exact repetition of the reading. Their purpose is to elaborate upon fundamental aspects of the topics studied. Expect that some of the reading and problem assignments may not be touched upon in the lecture, but they are certainly topics for study and examination.
