Exams: 2 exams
Grading: Computer and Faculty Evaluated
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra II.
Description: Students will compare the major concepts and skills for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data and random phenomena. Successful completion of both semesters will help prepare students for the College Board’s exam.
DATES: Enrollments begin in May; coursework starts September 4, 2012. Spring enrollments begin in October; coursework starts in January.
Gifted: This course is academically challenging. Any student who has an interest in the subject and has met the prerequisites (if any), may enroll.
Special Instructions: The course content will be viewable two weeks prior to the start date. Read more about our Advanced Placement courses online. Our AP courses follow a specific calendar, and the normal 9-month completion policy does not apply to these courses. Therefore, students who have not completed all work by the due date for the course final (listed on the course calendar) will automatically be withdrawn from the course. Students who choose to take the AP exam will need to make their own arrangements. Contact the College Board for assistance in locating a testing site, or contact a local high school to determine whether it administers the test.
Lesson assignments need to be created in Microsoft Word or another word processor that saves files as .doc (Word 97–2003 document) or .rtf (Rich Text format).
Materials Note: Students will need to register online for StatCrunch; this requires a credit card transaction. Students will need access to a graphing calculator (e.g. TI-83+ or newer), and an appropriate cable to connect their calculator with the computer and the TI-Connect software for file transfer. The same textbook is also used for the fall semester.
The same textbook is also used for the spring semester.
