123.01 Math Spring 2007 Instructor: Matthew Menzel Home phone: 373-8026 (Please do not call after 11pm) Office: 232e Selby Hall Office phone: 376-4817 E-mail: mmm002@marietta.edu Web-page: www.marietta.edu/~mmm002 Office hours: T 1:30-2:30pm, W 2:00-3:00pm, R 1:30-2:30pm, and by appointment. Class Time: MWF 9:00-9:50am Location: 238 Selby Hall Important Dates: 2/2 2/2 4/6 Textbook: Exams: Labs: Last day to drop a course without receiving a `W' Last day to add a course Last day to withdraw from a course with a `W' Elementary Statistics: 3rd Edition by Ron Larson and Betsy Farber; ISBN 0-13-148316-1. There will be three exams, which will consist of multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, and questions that require some explanation/discussion. Lab assignments will be completed in groups of 3-4 people. Lab work will consist of various class activities that will be distributed during class time and will be based on material covered during lectures. Unless instructed otherwise, lab work must be turned in on the day of the lab. Each GROUP must turn in one lab write-up, and your work is expected to be neat and complete. Homework There are a number of homework problems suggested from each section. These problems are listed and Quizzes: in the attached calendar. Homework will not be collected, but there will be several quizzes addressing the material covered during lecture. Quiz problems will be very similar or identical to homework problems. This presents the reason for doing all suggested problems. Quizzes will be worth 10 points each. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped to give your final quiz score. No quizzes can be made up unless one is missed due to an excused absence. It is left to my discretion to determine whether or not an absence is excused. If you have to miss a quiz or exam due to an excused absence, you MUST let me know in advance, if possible, and in the case of an emergency, you should notify me as soon as possible. If you miss a quiz or exam due to an unexcused absence or if you fail to notify me promptly of an excused absence, you will receive a zero for that quiz or exam. There likely will be several additional assignments that will be given and collected throughout the semester, and these will also count toward your quiz/homework grade. Grading: The three exams will be weighted equally and will comprise 70% of your course grade. Lab assignments will constitute 15% of your grade, and quizzes/other assignments will determine the remaining 15% of your course grade. I expect that the grading scale will be 93-100% A, 73-77% C, 90-93% A-, 70-73% C-, 87-90% B+, 67-70% D+, 83-87% B, 63-67% D, 80-83% B-, 60-63% D-, 77-80% C+ 0-60% F. If you need to achieve a certain grade for this course, it is your responsibility to earn enough points throughout the course to obtain it. It is not acceptable to lobby for a grade at the end of the semester and especially after the final exam has been taken. Learning Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to intelligently articulate the role of Objectives: statistical science in the world around us. You should be able to discuss intelligently the concepts and complications associated with sampling variability, confidence statements, experimental design, measurements and plots, averages and spreads, normal distributions, regression, and simple hypothesis testing, as well as the basic nature of inferential reasoning. Reading: You should read the appropriate in sections the textbook as well as completing the suggested problems. You are responsible for material from the indicated sections of the text. Calculators: You are required to have a calculator that is at least capable of performing square roots. The course is designed so that the possession of a more powerful calculator is not a significant advantage. Note: A calculator on a cell phone will NOT be permitted! Plagiarism: "Academic dishonesty within the academic community is a very serious matter, because dishonesty destroys the basic trust necessary for a healthy education environment. Academic dishonesty is any treatment or representation of work as if one were fully responsible for it, when it is in fact the work of another person. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, theft, or improper manipulation of laboratory or research data or theft of services. A substantiated case of academic dishonesty may result in disciplinary action, including a failing grade on the project, a failing grade in the course, or expulsion from the College" (Marietta College Undergraduate Programs, 2004-2005 Catalog, p. 132). Co-Curricular "A student on academic probation may enroll in no more than 14 credit hours each Probation: semester. The following co-curricular restrictions will apply to a student on academic probation: a) They are ineligible to participate in any college athletic team or club sport. b) They may not hold office in any campus organization or social fraternity or sorority. c) They may not travel off campus to a meeting or trip with any college organization or club unless required to do so for an academic program. d) They may not represent the college in any on-campus or off-campus public events or other cocurricular activities (e.g. plays, musical performances, student newspaper) unless required to do so for an academic course. e) They may not register for courses that require co-curricular participation unless required by their major. The restrictions continue in force until the student has returned to "good acad...
