Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Are Valued Here

DEI is under attack, but it remains essential for fostering fairness, inclusion, and opportunity. Despite efforts to undermine it, DEI strengthens communities by embracing diverse perspectives and ensuring everyone has a chance to succeed. We all must uphold our standards and policies to create a learning community that uplifts and supports us as individuals.

We will focus on promoting positivity by embracing the differences in race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, gender, gender identity/expression, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, and marital, parental, or veteran status. Remember, your words and actions have the power to make a positive impact on those around you. Practice positive, helpful peer support. This is a vital college, work, and life skill. There is no career where you are not required to work well with others at some point. Every job is essentially a long, elaborate group project. Now is a great time to learn—or continue to practice—how to make working with others fun and productive.

📊 About Math 110 

Math 110 is organized in accordance with the following 2016 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Links to an external site., endorsed by the American Statistical Association:

1. 1. 1. Teach statistical thinking. 🧠
         • Teach statistics as an investigative process of problem-solving and decision-making.
         • Give students experience with multivariate thinking.
      2. Focus on conceptual understanding. 📊
      3. Integrate real data with a context and purpose. 🌍
      4. Foster active learning. 💡
      5. Use technology to explore concepts and analyze data. 💻
      6. Use assessments to improve and evaluate student learning. ✅

💻 When is Class and How Long Will It Be? 

One benefit of an online classroom is that you can learn at times that work best with your schedule. This means you can watch videos, read the text, and complete assignments anytime during the day or night! We will have no scheduled class meeting times. 🌙

The amount of time you will need to spend on this course will depend on your background knowledge and learning style, but you should expect to spend about 9-15 hours a week on this course. To start the semester, I recommend logging into Canvas and completing work for this class at least 3 days a week. Each of these days, spend about 3-5 hours a day on the course. Adjust this schedule as needed to fit your learning style. 🗓️

🌋 Staying Active in the Course  

Success in this course requires consistent participation and engagement. You must spend at least 4 hours per week actively working in the course to remain enrolled. This includes logging into Canvas, completing assignments, watching lecture videos, and participating in discussions.

In addition to being active weekly, the overall time commitment for this course will likely require between 9 and 15 hours per week to achieve success. Staying consistent with your work will help you stay on track and build the skills needed to excel in statistics. 🚀

🎯 Student Learning Outcomes 

1. 1. 1. 1. Data Literacy: Calculate and interpret descriptive statistics graphically and numerically to describe patterns and relationships between data.
         2. Application of Methods: Apply inferential statistics, such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression, to make decisions on research questions.
         3. Application of Methods: Demonstrate the appropriate use of computer-based statistical software.

📝 Grading Scheme 

Note that all assignments, other than MyOpenMath, are credit/no credit. You either complete it at a college level or you don't. You're welcome to go back and fix anything that is "no credit." 

Your overall grade in the course will be calculated using the following weights:

• • • Worksheets: 15%
    • Projects: 50%
    • Discussion Boards: 15%
    • MyOpenMath: 20%

You'll have a typical Grading Scale:

• • • A = 90–100%

    • B = 80–89%

    • C = 70–79%

    • D = 60–69%

    • F = Below 60%

🌞 Regrading for Full Credit

I’ll support you, and I’ll also hold you to high standards—because your learning matters. You've got this.

Every time you request a regrade, you’ll need to reflect:
👉 What did you change, and how does it respond to the feedback?
That reflection goes in your Regrade Form—and it’s required every time.

If your assignment is marked “No Pass,” it just means it’s not there yet. You’re encouraged to revise and resubmit—but here’s how the process works:

• • • • • 1st Regrade: Write your reflection and complete the Regrade Form—no extra steps.

        • 2nd Regrade: Write your reflection, get a peer review, and then submit the form.

        • 3rd Regrade: Write your reflection, visit the Tutoring Center, and have a tutor sign off before submitting

⚖️ Projects

All projects require that you:

📊 Center your data—don’t treat it like background decoration
🧠 Use complex methods—and explain them clearly. 
🎥 Keep your visuals and voice together—no separate slides/visuals and audio unless it’s an intentional, creative choice.
🎯 Focus on analysis, not just description—mean and median are a starting point, not the whole story
🎬 Make an Engaging video—we want to see you bring the data to life, not flip through slides with a voiceover.

We’re here to practice thinking deeply, communicating clearly, and caring about what we say.

😬 What About Late or Missing Work?

Late work is accepted as long as the missing work form is completed. No late work is accepted without the form and failing to complete the form will result in being dropped from the course. If you plan on missing an assignment, the missing assignment form must be completed, or you will be dropped from the course. Note that any work for our class cannot be turned in past the conclusion of the course. The later you turn in work the tighter the turn around to implement feedback. Work turned in at the last minute may not receive a grade, and be eligible for a rework, before the course is over.📑
