Topics Covered Probability theory and descriptive statistics, probability models, introduction to inferential statistics. Prerequisite MATH 1041 (C), MATH 1038 (C), MATH 1941 (C), MATH 1951 (C), MATH 2043 to 3080 (C-), MA06 Y. Course Mode In-person Credits 4 Textbook and Other Required Materials Textbook Course notes are available at...(TODO) Calculator You will need a scientific calculator (NOT a graphing calculator and NOT a calculator app on your phone\/watch). Any calculator capable of symbolic differentiation\/integration or performing statistical tests is NOT allowed. Scientific calculators (such as the TI-30XIIS ) typically cost around $10. Phone You will need a device (phone or tablet) to take pictures of your quizzes\/tests and upload your work. Assessments Homework There will be homework assignments posted on Canvas approximately weekly. There are more practice problems available in the course notes. Doing homework problems is the primary way that you will learn and internalize the material seen in class. Plan to spend a substantial amount of time throughout the semester doing homework problems. Quizzes There will be in-class quizzes every other week (on Jan 20, Feb 3, Mar 10, Mar 24, and Apr 21). Quizzes give you some practice in a test-like environment without the same grade pressure as a test. The quizzes should be a signal to you about whether you're keeping up with the pace of the course. Exams This course will have two midterm exams and a Final Exam. Exams are the main opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of course material. Test 1 Tuesday, February 17 (in class) Test 2 Tuesday, April 7 (in class) Final Exam Tuesday, May 5, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Makeup Policy There are no quiz or exam makeups. The lowest quiz will be dropped and replaced with the recitation score. Grading The grade components and their weights are: Component Weight Homework 5% Quizzes 15% Exam 1 24% Exam 2 24% Final Exam 32% The lower cutoff for each letter grade is given in the table below. Letter Grade Lower Cutoff A 93% A- 90% B+ 87% B 83% B- 80% C+ 77% C 73% C- 70% D+ 65% D 55% F 0% Attendance Policy Attendance is expected and will be recorded. If you need to miss a class for some reason, it is your responsibility to get notes from another student for any material you've missed, and to arrange to turn in\/make up any in-class or collected work. Attendance and Your Health To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to the course requirements. However, if you have tested positive for or are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. It is the student’s responsibility to contact me to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as you are able to do so, and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion. Expectations for Class Conduct It is important to foster a respectful and productive learning environment that includes all students in our diverse community of learners. Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning experience. Therefore, all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse. Disability Statement Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm 420 ( drs@temple.edu ; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you. If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as practical. I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities. All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential. Academic Freedom Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here . Add\/Drop Policy Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop\/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar for exact dates. During the Drop\/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of \"W\" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University calendar for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here . AI Policy The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) is not permitted in this class unless specifically announced for a particular assignment; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be considered a violation of Temple University's Academic Honesty policy and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own. The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in a grade of zero on the assignment; a second offense will be reported to the Student Conduct Board. Incomplete Grades The grade \"I\" (an \"incomplete\") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the \"I\" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here . Student Support Services The following academic support services are available to students: The Math Consulting Center Student Success Center University Libraries Undergraduate Research Support Career Center Tuttleman Counseling Services Disability Resources and Services If you are experiencing food insecurity or financial struggles, Temple provides resources and support. Notably, the Temple University Cherry Pantry and the Temple University Emergency Student Aid Program are in operation as well as a variety of resources from the Division of Student Affairs.
