Special Attendance Tracking

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO LOG IN ON FOR DISCUSSION TOPIC ON A MINIMUM OF 3 SEPERATE DAYS PER WEEKIN EACH GRADED DISCUSSION. PREFERABLY ON MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY

You are to complete all assignments, quizzes or exams in MyMathLab, MyStatLab or MyITLab BEGINING ON SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

Discussion Requirements

The discussions will be graded for

Frequency – the number and regularity of your contributions. Students are expected to log in to the course and post (respond) in the discussion topics on a minimum of three separate days per week in each graded discussion, beginning no later than Wednesday.

Quality – the content of your contributions. Examples of quality posts include

· providing additional information to the discussion;

· elaborating on previous comments from others;

· presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow students;

· presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion;

· sharing personal experiences that relate to the topic; and

· providing a URL and an explanation for an area you researched on the Internet.

Full credit is awarded when both high quality and required frequency are met.

Course Specific Requirements

Labs will give you an opportunity to demonstrate your mathematical, problem solving, analytical, and MiniTab skills to solve problems and apply statistical techniques to practical problems. Labs will be graded as follows:

Statistics (tables, calculations, accurate values)

15%

Graphs (titles, labels, accuracy)

15%

Analysis (interpretation, analysis discussion)

60%

Organization (proper format, style, used template)

10%

The labs provide real practice with data sets and will provide you with an opportunity to integrate the concepts with practice. The labs go beyond the questions in the text by requiring you to learn MiniTab for the purpose of statistical analysis. You will also be using your writing skills to provide a summary that analyzes and interprets the work that you have done. Each lab has a "template" that you should use to submit your results. You need to use MiniTab to answer the questions and then paste your graphs and tables into a Word document for proper presentation. One caution about all labs: Unless it is required, do not return raw data sets as part of your results. Lab reports should be as concise as possible. Submit your labs using the Dropbox created for that week's assignments. Doc Sharing and Journal areas should not be used for any work. File Naming Convention Please name your file using the following convention: "lastname_firstinitial_week#lab" For example, if you are Albert Einstein and you are submitting your Week 2 Lab, the filename should be "einstein_a_week2lab".
