    6/17/2019 Math 10 Syllabus: Su19 MATH D010 Elem Stats/Probability 61Z Moen 00679 Math 10 Syllabus Syllabus Contact Information Name: Mrs. Moen Campus: De Anza College Email: [email protected] Course Description Elementary Statistics is an introduction to data analysis course that makes use of graphical and numerical techniques to study patterns and departures from patterns. The student studies randomness with emphasis on understanding variation, collects information in the face of uncertainty, checks distributional assumptions, tests hypotheses, uses probability as a tool for anticipating what the distribution of data may look like under a set of assumptions, and uses appropriate statistical models to draw conclusions from data. The course introduces the student to applications in engineering, business, economics, medicine, education, the sciences, and other related fields. The use of technology (computers or graphing calculators) will be required in certain applications. Student Learning Outcome Statements (SLO) • Student Learning Outcome: Organize, analyze, and utilize appropriate methods to draw conclusions based on sample data by constructing and/or evaluating tables, graphs, and numerical measures of characteristics of data. • Student Learning Outcome: Identify, evaluate, interpret and describe data distributions through the study of sampling distributions and probability theory. • Student Learning Outcome: Collect data, interpret, compose and defend conjectures, and communicate the results of random data using statistical analyses such as interval and point estimates, hypothesis tests, and regression analysis. Prerequisites Qualifying score on Intermediate Algebra Placement Test within the past calendar year.

  • Online Content Calculator User Guide
    Online Content Calculator User Guide Introduction How much time do you spend lecturing in your online class? That question can be a difficult one to answer. Since many online courses are asynchronous, students may speed up a one-hour lecture (I wouldn’t recommend lecture for one hour under any circumstances but more about that below) and watch it in 30 minutes. Or the lecture may be difficult and students may need two hours to understand it. So how do you measure the actual contact time? That is not a rhetorical question. Instructors of online courses are required to report their contact hours, which must meet the standards set forth by the Carnegie Foundation. In fact the credit units that we are all familiar with, i.e. 3-credit courses, is based on what is referred to as the Carnegie Unit. For a 15 week, 3-credit course, the requirement is for 45 contact—that is classroom—hours and a total of 90 hours of homework or lab work in the course. A Carnegie unit defines a semester unit of credit as equal to a minimum of three hours of work per week for a semester. A 16-week course equates to three hours of student work per week (1 hour lecture plus 2 hours of homework or 3 hours of lab) for 16 weeks. Although this unit of measure is well established having been developed by the Carnegie Foundation in 1907, it has come under increasing fire with the recent push toward competency-based education. But I’m not going to tackle that issue here.

Based on those comments, the reviewer will provide a final exam status equal to the most egregious comment (Suspicious if there are any comments labeled as Suspicious, Rules Violation if there are any comments labeled as Rules Violations but none labeled as Suspicious). If there are no comments, the exam status will be marked clean. • Suspicious - occurs when the activity directly compromises exam integrity (i.e. cheating) • Rules Violation - occurs when a rule is broken, but the activity does not impact exam integrity (i.e. playing music) • Clean - is used when there are no activities that break any exam rules Items highlighted yellow in the following table require additional information. You must have a rule with specific instructions placed in the “Exam Rule Exceptions” field for AdminSite users or “Special Instructions” area of Exam Rule Profiles for LTI users.

  • Mobile App for ATA Calculator
    Mobile App for Thyroid Calculator on Apple iPhone and iPad The American Thyroid Association (ATA) has launched its Thyroid Calculator mobile app currently available from the Apple iTunes App store for use on the iPhone and iPad. The thyroid calculator combines three key thyroid assessment tools that medical, endocrinology, and thyroid professionals can use for rapid calculation of: Calcitonin and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Doubling Time; Change in Thyroid Nodule Volume; and Thyroid Cancer Staging. Dr. Matthew Kim, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and recent Chair of Internet Communications, says "This is a well-designed resource that will definitely be useful to any provider managing patients with nodular thyroid disease and differentiated thyroid cancer." Clinicians can enter values into the appropriate calculator to obtain instant results on present values, and they can enter values over time for comparative analyses. Calculation results are available for print or email but they are not preserved within the app, thus maintaining patient privacy and security. Developed by Professor Guarionex Salivia, PhD, Minnesota State University, Mankato, the Thyroid Calculator mobile app utilizes calculations that are based on accepted medical standards and are well-recognized and accepted by thyroid physicians and researchers. The ATA extends its appreciation to Dr. Salivia for his dedication and efforts in producing the app for use by the thyroid community. “The app will bring these calculators, which are highly useful in our daily thyroid practice, closer to the point of care, whether that be the physician office, the clinic corridor, or the hospital bedside. We are delighted to provide this tool which has been produced utilizing the expertise of our members and valued colleagues” said Dr.
