without permission. 1. This "Basic Guide to Social Statistics" is an on-line course containing
lecture notes, homework problems, and sample quizzes. An inexpensive calculator
is necessary for working many problems. A Direct Algebra Logic calculator with a
minimum of five memory areas is highly recommended. These are inexpensive
calculators, do not pay more than $20. 2. This is course is meant to supplement registered students. The course
lesson plans and homework are supplied with detailed explanations available. It
is primarily intended to help students by providing lecture notes and homework
in a hypertext format. If you have found this page and are interested in
learning statistics, then contact the author. There is no concurrent
registration for the web only version at the current time. In the registered
version of the course, there will be three tests (100 points each), an SPSS
project (100 points), and a comprehensive final (200 points). All makeup tests
are given during class on the last day of the semester. The grades will be
straight scale (A is 93% or above, A- is 90-92%, B+ is 87-89%, etc.). If there
are extenuating circumstances (such as hospitalization, etc.) that may cause
long term absence, arrangements can be made. An incomplete can ONLY be
given if a majority of the classwork has been completed with a passing grade.
3. All information and announcements covered in the chat room (this is under
development) are the student's responsibility. The schedule is an estimate and
is subject to change to accommodate student needs. 4. Statistics are not learned by reading, do the homework assigned as soon as possible after the lesson. There is no substitute for practice. Students who received As in previous semesters and asked to be put onto a
tutor list are available. Fees and hours are between the student and tutor. Most
of the correspondence will be through email. The tests will be through webforms. The class (in real space) has been taught in this basic format for fourteen
years. Literally thousands of students have successfully completed the
coursework. Study, do the homework, participate in class and earn a good grade.
