Excerpts from the Statistics Syllabus

Textbook

David M Diez et al, *Introductory Statistics with Randomization and Simulation*, First Edition. The book is available in three formats:

For the first two options, visit

OpenIntro.org.

The textbook is not just a reference to use after the instructor has presented new material but a sourcebook to use at every stage of learning. When all students read the text before class, the nature of the class meeting changes to the benefit of everyone. You will have thought about the material, and you will arrive with your own questions. You'll be ready to discuss what you understand, to clarify what you don't understand, and to hear more on the topic. You need to read the book prior to class as well as review the material after we've discussed it in class.

Calculators and Technology

For class activities and exams, you may use a scientific calculator, graphing calculator (TI-83 or 84 recommended), the desktop version of R, or Microsoft Excel. I hope it goes without saying, but while the class is in session, you should not use your computer or cellphone for personal email, web browsing, Facebook, or any activity that's not related to the class. During exams you are NOT permitted to have cell phones powered on, to share calculators, or to access websites other than the designated data sources and simulation applets.

Suggested materials

graph paper, colored pencils/pens, straight edge, and your "outside thinking cap" (everyday reasoning abilities developed outside the mathematics classroom).
