What is Statistics?

This is an introductory college-level statistics course that introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students cultivate their understanding of statistics using technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they explore concepts like variation and distribution; patterns and uncertainty; and data-based predictions, decisions, and conclusions. 

Is this class hard?

The teacher answer to this question is, “This class is as hard or as easy as you make it.”  That is true – to an extent.  Are there easier math classes that you could take this year?  Yes.  Are there harder math classes that you could take this year?  Yes.   This class will feel different than any other math class you have taken – there isn’t a lot of the traditional formulas and calculations…

The bottom line – I love math.  I want you to love this course and math also. We will work hard EVERY DAY, but we will also have a lot of fun along the way.
