Optional Work 3/24 - 3/27
Wow! What a couple of weeks. A lot has changed, and I'm trying to figure out how to change with it.
So let's get down to business. Prior to spring break, you completed your study of Chapter 10 (confidence intervals and t-distributions) and most of Chapter 11 (introduction to significance tests and testing hypotheses). We will need to complete Chapter 11 and test on those two chapters. To start preparing yourselves for what lies ahead, you could do the following if you have time this week and are in a space to do statistics:

Grading
There will be formative quizzes almost daily in class (either using pencil and paper or using AP Classroom). However, your grade for the class will be the average of your test grades that semester. Test dates are:
Semester 1
October 1: Chapters 1 and 2
October 29: Chapters 3 and 4
November 14: Chapter 5
December 17: Chapters 6 and 7
Semester 2
February 18: Chapters 8 and 9
March 19: Chapters 10 and 11
April 2: Chapter 12
April 30: Chapters 13 and 14
After the tests are graded and returned, a student may correct and do additional problems determined by the teacher to earn some points back on the exam. The problems will be determined by the teacher; the points earned by the student will be negotiated between the student and the teacher. Any make up problems will be done individually outside of the normal class period and at Polaris.
