The general course organization will center around using material from the text in classroom discussion, simulations, and application. Students are expected to take active roles in this learning. Grades will be assigned based on performance in three areas and averaged as follows. Students are expected to take the test on the date offered and turn in papers on time. Students may take a test early, with no penalty if their absence is unavoidable.
Regular attendance is important.
Twenty percent of your grade comes from class attendance, participation and study questions. While it is important to attend class sessions, I consider it just as important to participate in class. During the quarter you are expected to complete nine Working with Data assignments. These four tests account for thirty-five percent of your course grade. I expect these to be multiple choice questions.
