SC7 The course teaches students how to communicate methods, results and interpretations using the vocabulary of statistics. SC8 The course teaches students how to use graphing calculators to enhance the development of statistical understanding through exploring data, assessing models, and/or analyzing data. SC9 The course teaches students how to use graphing calculators, tables, or computer software to 8 enhance the development of statistical understanding through performing simulations. SC0 The course demonstrates the use of computers and/or computer output to enhance the development of statistical understanding through exploring data, analyzing data, and/or assessing models.
2 Syllabus v Pedagogy The primary text provides the general layout of the course. Students are required to read the chapters in the textbook before the topics are discussed in class so that class time can be devoted to more discussion, investigation, and activities, with less time spent lecturing. Students will gain proficiency on accuracy and communication of statistical concepts throughout the course, to include effectively communicating how methods, results, and interpretations of data for any given experiment are valid. They learn that writing complete responses using appropriate justifications is a critical aspect of gaining statistical proficiency. This is emphasized on all homework assignments; write-ups from activities, investigations, and experiments; and especially on student assessments. One method that has been successful in enhancing these skills is having students review each other s responses on AP Statistics released free-response questions. Working in groups of three, they use rubrics to score responses. Some class time is spent discussing any differences in their scores, helping students learn what constitutes an effective response. On most assignments, quizzes, and exams, students are expected to use an appropriate graphing calculator. I use a graphing calculator with an overhead display as well as a projection unit for class demonstrations. Each chapter in the main text has a section on calculator use to give students instruction and practice using the statistical capabilities of their calculators. On some assignments and activities, students use Minitab to analyze data. Every networked computer throughout our building (in the IMC, computer labs, and classrooms) has access to Minitab. [SC8 & SC0] It is important to note that approximately two weeks (0 to 4 ) of every trimester is spent in the computer lab. Course Projects Course projects are in the form of extended formal writing assignments. As a consequence, form and technical adequacy are enforced. These assignments are given throughout the year. The main purpose of these course projects is for students to gain strong experiences in developing statistical studies and making sound judgments and connections between the design and the results of an experiment. Two examples are given below. Example Chapter (data collection and experimental design): In small groups, students write up the helicopter experiment in the second chapter. The point of the experiment is that students are clearly able to describe their experimental-design process from design to collection of data to descriptive report of their results. [SC7] Students design, execute, and write a group project. Exemplary reports are discussed in class. SC8 The course teaches students how to use graphing calculators to enhance the development of statistical understanding through exploring data, assessing models, and/or analyzing data. SC0 The course demonstrates the use of computers and/ or computer output to enhance the development of statistical understanding through exploring data, analyzing data, and/or assessing models. SC7 The course teaches students how to communicate methods, results and interpretations using the vocabulary of statistics.
3 Syllabus v Example Chapter 3 (graphical methods of describing data): Students produce graphical displays using data that they have collected or existing data they have located. This activity usually produces interesting examples that can be referenced throughout the chapter. These data are used to introduce Minitab s data entry and graphing capability. Later in the year, as we progress through inference, students are responsible for increasingly longer (individual) projects involving data collection and analysis. Their writing is evaluated with increasing rigor as their skills are honed, and more attention is given to the necessity of putting their project in a larger scientific context. As a culminating project, students will design an experiment or survey, plan a sampling procedure, gather data, use descriptive and inferential statistics, interpret their results in context, and present their results. This project requires that students engage in all stages of the research process. [SC6] SC6 The course draws connections between all aspects of the statistical process including design, analysis, and conclusions.
