Guiding Principle
Never turn away a student who wants to learn
• Questions are always welcome
• I’m here 7:30 to 5:00 most days and always
welcome a student coming by for extra help
• Late work is accepted, but there are penalties
(reduced score)
• Any actions that discourage others from
participating (such as mocking other students)
is a punishable offense
Tip #1: Don’t Waste Opportunities to Learn
• Pay Attention in class: there’s a reason they
pay me to talk.
• Turn off the laptop
– No matter how good you are at multitasking,
you’re better when you focus on 1 task
– There is no online textbook
– Laptops are great for writing vocab and facts, but
not well designed for copying math examples and
graphs into your notes.
Tip #1: Don’t Waste Opportunities to Learn
• Do your homework
– Practice is the best way to learn
– If you do your homework then the quizzes and
tests should be very straightforward
• Almost every period you have 5-10 minutes to
start your homework… use it for homework,
– Especially the excel assignments which many of
you will find difficult and will have questions
Tip #2: Participate
• Ask Questions and Volunteer Answers
– You learn better when you’re actively involved
– Class is significantly more boring when no one
volunteers
Tip #3: It’s ok to be wrong
• Don’t let a fear of being wrong stop you from
learning how to be right.
– None of your classmates care that you were
wrong; they are much too worried about their
own lives
• If you volunteer a wrong answer that gives me
an opportunity to correct that wrong and
teach you the right way before the quiz/test
• Mocking others for asking questions and
wanting to learn is a punishable offense
Typical Day
• I walk around checking homework
– HW is graded based on effort & completion.
• Pray: unless there’s an all school prayer that period
• As a class we’ll go over the HW
• Class Activity:
– Notes: they are posted online, but you’ll learn better if
you write down the notes in class
– Statistical Lab Experiment
– Excel Work Time
• 5-10 minutes at end to start next HW
Grading System: Points Based
• All HW, Quizzes and Tests will be posted on website
• HW: most 5 pts, effort based

Not done at start of class then it’s late
Up to a week late it is worth 4/5
After a week late work is worth 3/5
Optional if Absent
• Quiz: 20 pts
• Test: 100 pts (about 3 per quarter)
• Extra Credit:
– IML: 3 per semester, 7:30 to 8:00,
1 pt arrive before 7:45 + 1 pt for each correct answer
– Always a possibility for going above & beyond
• Periodic projects that range in value
Excel Assignments
• We will spend a significant portion of time learning
Excel on the laptops. Excel is a powerful tool used
to analyze data and you will use Excel if you go into
a field that uses statistics.
• When I give class time to work on Excel, use it!
• Submit to [email protected]
• Must be completed even if you’re absent
• Never share a file! If two people submit the same
file, both receive a zero for cheating.
• Everything in your file should have been entered
by your hands.
Collaboration vs. Cheating
• You may work and should work together. You can ask
each other questions. Work side by side.
• However, under no circumstance are you to give an
electronic copy of your work to another student. If you do
it’ll be considered cheating.
– You may NOT work together on the same computer working
on the same file where one types and the other helps.
Everyone has to do it themselves.
– You may NOT send your file to another student to help them
to show them what you did. Explain it to the best of your
ability, but don’t send the file.
– If you work with another student and their computer crashes
right as as the two of you finish so he has nothing to show. He
has to redo it and you may NOT send your file even though
the two of you worked together. This is why you should save
frequently.
Classroom Procedures
• All quizzes, tests and work that is handed in
goes in the white bin.
• The black bin with your class on it has graded
work that’s going back to you.
• Only 1 student allowed out of the room for
the restroom at a time
• Use laptops responsibly
• Be respectful towards each other

Summary of What to Expect
• This class is not challenging when compared
to the other math classes available to upper
classmen, but it is not a class for students
with seniorities. Homework is almost daily,
often occurring simultaneously with long
term projects and excel assignments. You
need good time management and don’t get
seniorities.
• Pass out survey and homework
Statistics Unit 1
• Statistics is the study of how to analyze data
• Lesson 1: Question Everything.
– What are your sources, how do you know what
you claim to know?
– What’s your background, can you be trusted or do
you have motivation to lie?
