Scope of Content
The content in this course is cumulative and builds from one week to the next. As such, the content does become more challenging as the course progresses. You may find that you need to spend more time on the readings and assignments in some weeks, so you are encouraged to plan your time accordingly.
Grading Details
The work you are required to do in this course consists of:
· Weekly reading assignments
· Weekly LEO discussion participation
· Weekly homework problems in MyStatLab
· 3 checkpoint quizzes in MyStatLab
· Final exam in MyStatLab
These course components are described in more detail below.
Weekly Reading Assignments
Even though there is no numerical score associated with the weekly reading assignments, it should be understood that how well you do in the course depends heavily on how conscientious you are with the reading assignments. Each week there will be reading assigned from the eBook Elementary Statistics by Triola (14th edition). The eBook is found in MyStatLab. You should also read the Modules (Course Resources) presented in the Course Content area of LEO. The details of which chapter(s) assigned for which week can be found in the Course Schedule in this syllabus.
When doing the reading for this course you need to really SLOW DOWN !
Reading statistics is not like reading anything else! You need to look very carefully at the numbers and formulæ and spend some time making sure you understand them and that they make sense. Reading statistics (or any mathematical text) can take three to four times longer, per page, than reading a non-mathematical text.
Participation -- World Wide Web Protocols
By registering for a Web-based course, you have made a commitment to participate in your course conferences as well as other online activities. To contact your instructor, use the conferencing software or email links provided, which allow you to communicate with the instructor and your classmates in a virtual classroom 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please plan to participate regularly. You will note in the grading policy that your online participation counts towards your final grade.
You are expected to adhere to the general rules of online etiquette.
Weekly Online LEO Discussion Participation
Active engagement is an important ingredient in student success in online classes. LEO discussion assignments will be used to collaboratively discuss concepts and their applications in the real world. A goal of the discussions is to encourage you to think about how statistics can be applied in your own life.
Each student must post an initial response to the week's discussion topic by Saturday at 11:59 PM Eastern time of the week in which the topic is assigned. You are encouraged to engage in a discussion with your peers about the week's topic (e.g., ask questions of your classmates, find similarities and differences in answers, etc.). You must make at least one substantive peer post by Tuesday night at 11:59 PM Eastern time. A rubric is linked in each week's discussion area.
The online discussions constitute 240 points toward the final course grade.
Weekly Homework Problems
During weeks 1-7 you will complete homework in MyStatLab (MSL). The homework assignments can be completed as many times as you like until you are satisfied with your score. While all homework assignments are officially due the last day of class, it is strongly recommended that you stay on track with the course schedule (located at the end of the syllabus) and complete each homework assignment during the assigned week.
Each week there are three homework assignments in MSL. ‘Ready’ assesses what foundational skills you personally need to reinforce. ‘Set’ tailors the review exercises you specifically need to work on to build that foundation. Once that is complete you can successfully complete the “Go” assignment which is the weekly homework. Only the weekly homework ("Go") will be included in the gradebook.
The homework exercises are worth 480 points toward the final course grade.
Homework is a very important part of this course because the best way to learn statistics is to do statistics. You are encouraged to seek help from the instructor, fellow students, or tutors when you need it. There are also excellent "help" features in MSL, such as "help me solve" and "show an example".
Checkpoint Quizzes in MyStatLab
Over the course of the term, there will be three required checkpoint quizzes in MyStatLab. Checkpoint quiz #1 is assigned in week 3 and covers content from weeks 1-2. Checkpoint quiz #2 is assigned in week 5 and covers content from weeks 3-4. Checkpoint quiz #3 is assigned in week 7 and covers content from weeks 5-6. The quizzes are assigned in addition to the weekly "ready, set, go" homework assignments in MyStatLab.
The three checkpoint quizzes constitute 180 points toward the final course grade. You will be able to open the checkpoint quiz, work on it, save it, and return later to complete it. You will be able to submit each checkpoint quiz twice. The higher checkpoint quiz score will be recorded. You will have access to the "help me solve" and "show an example" resources during the checkpoint quizzes. Like the homework, quizzes are officially due the last day of class; however, it is strongly recommended that you stay on track with the course schedule (located at the end of the syllabus) and complete each quiz during the assigned week.
Final Exam
The final exam is an open book exam that covers content from weeks 1-7. The final exam will be posted in MyStatLab at 12:01 a.m. ET on the Wednesday of Academic Week 8, and it is due at 11:59 p.m. ET on the last day of Academic Week 8 (Tuesday). The exam will not show in your list of assignments in MyStatLab until it unlocks at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday of week 8. The final exam will be locked right after midnight ET on Tuesday. You will be able to open the exam, work on it, save it, and return later during the 7-day exam period to complete it. The final exam can be completed two times, and the higher score will be recorded in the gradebook.
The final exam will consist of all computer-scored questions, and you will have access to the "help me solve" and "show an example" resources during the exam. Note that access to a tutor will be disabled for the final exam.
The final exam must be individually completed and represent your own personal work. Neither collaboration nor consultation with others is allowed.
The solutions for the final exam will not be posted.
The final exam will be given during the final exam week, and you are expected to take the exam as scheduled. In the event of illness or extraordinary circumstances, you must contact your faculty member and provide documentation to request an exception and approval to take a makeup exam. If the request is not approved, the exam grade will be recorded as a zero. The final exam is worth 100 points toward the final course grade.
The academic schedule in this Syllabus is referenced to Eastern Time Zone (local time at Adelphi, MD).
Important Grade Information
Grade of W
In accordance with UMGC Policy 170.71 - Grade of Incomplete and Withdrawal - UMGC , students may withdraw and receive a grade of W by following the procedures detailed at Withdrawals - UMGC . The grade of W appears on the permanent record unless the withdrawal is completed before a course begins. For purposes of academic retention, the grade of W is counted as attempted hours. It is not used in determining grade-point averages.
Grade of G
In accordance with UMGC Policy 170.71 - Grade of Incomplete and Withdrawal - UMGC , when an allegation of academic dishonesty and/or plagiarism is reported by the faculty under UMGC Policy 150.25 - Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism - UMGC , a grade of G, grade pending, is administratively entered and will remain on a student's record until the process of Policy 150.25 - Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism - UMGC is completed and the final grade for the course is assigned.
Grade of FN
In accordance with UMGC Policy 205.06 - Calculation Of Grade-Point Average (GPA) for Inclusion on Transcripts and Transcript Requests - UMGC , a grade of FN will be given for a failure in the course because the student has ceased to attend and participate in the first 60% of the semester in course assignments and activities. It is assigned when the student ceases to attend class but has not officially withdrawn. The FN grade is treated as an F in calculating the grade-point average.
Grade of I
In accordance with UMGC Policy 170.71 - Grade of Incomplete and Withdrawal - UMGC , a grade of Incomplete ( I) will be awarded only if you have completed at least 60% of the course material with a passing grade, can present a compelling reason for an extension, and have made the request for an incomplete prior to the end of the semester.
The grade of I (Incomplete) is an exceptional mark given only to students whose work in a course has been satisfactory but who for reasons beyond their control have been unable to complete all the requirements of a course. The following criteria must be met:
· You must have completed the major portion of the work in the course.
· The work you have already completed must be of satisfactory quality.
· You must have requested the grade of I before the end of the course.
The guidelines for awarding the grade of I are as follows:
· The student must ask the instructor for a grade of I. (Teachers cannot award a grade of I on their own initiative.)
· The instructor decides whether to grant the request.
· The instructor sets a date, no more than four (4) months after submitting the original grade, for completion of the remaining requirements of the course.
· The instructor and the student together agree on the remaining requirements of the course and the deadline for submitting the work.
· The instructor and the student should fill out an Incomplete Contract: Incomplete Agreement Form- Faculty - UMGC , a copy of which should be sent to the Math/Stat Department for record.
· The student is responsible for completing the work.
· After the work is completed, the instructor submits a grade change form to replace the grade of I on the student's record with a letter grade.
· The grade of I cannot be removed by means of credit by examination.
· The grade of I cannot be replaced by a grade of W (defined above).
· If the student does not meet the deadline, the grade of I will be converted automatically to a final grade of F.
Students who elect to repeat an incomplete course must register again for the course, pay all applicable fees, and retake the course. For purposes of academic retention, your grade is counted as an F. The grade of I is not used in determining grade-point averages.
Changes in Grade
In accordance with UMGC policy on Procedure for Late Grade Changes - Exams & Testing - Faculty - UMGC , teachers may change a grade previously assigned only by submitting a Grade Adjustment Report, along with a letter giving the reasons for the change. Any change must be made no later than four (4) months after the original grade was awarded.
