      TEXT AND SUPPLIES:  The text is the second edition of Workshop Statistics:
      Discovery With Data by Allan J. Rossman and Beth L. Chance.  There are
      several specialized editions for different computer software.  Get the
      plain 2001 edition (the one with the mostly red cover).  It is available
      in the bookstore, room WB-4.  You will also need lined 8.5"x11" paper,
      graph paper, writing instruments, and a two-variable scientific calculator
      such as the TI-30X IIS calculator. Do not get the plain TI-30X without the
      II since it handles only one variable.  No calculators which display
      graphs are permitted on exams.

      December 12 to 18   Comprehensive Final Exam to be announced

      GRADING;  Each assignment, quiz, and exam will be assigned a point
      value.  Quizzes may be unannounced.  The final exam will be worth
      either 250 points or 1500 points whichever is to your advantage.
      If, for example, there are 620 points not counting the final
      exam, then the final exam will be worth either 250 points out of
      870 points for the course or 1500 points out of 2120 points for
      the course, whichever is to your advantage.  At the end of the
      semester I will total your points and convert the total to a
      percent and grade as follows:

      A 90 - 100%     B 80 - 89%     C 70 - 79%     D 60 - 69%     F 0 - 59%

      MAKE-UPS;  Daily assignments, quizzes, and extra credit assignments
      cannot be made up but I will drop your 12 lowest points.  Reports may be
      turned in late but I will deduct 5 points for each week or fraction of a
      week that the report is late.  Exams cannot be made up if for any reason
      you are not in class but I will drop your lowest exam grade excluding the
      final exam.

      EARLY WORK: You may submit reports but not daily assignments or quizzes in
      advance for days when you expect to be absent from class but I will drop
      your 12 lowest points.  Exams cannot be taken early if you know in advance
      that you will be unable to attend class on a day when an exam is scheduled
      but I will drop your lowest exam grade excluding the final exam.

      WRITING:  Unlike most math courses, this course counts as both a math
      course and a writing course.  Writing assignments should be written as if
      you were writing them for an English teacher.  A guide to the writing
      assignments will be handed out during the third week of class after you
      have learned enough statistics to be able to write about it.

      LEARNING LAB:  If you wish to meet with a student tutor, go to the Math
      Leaning Lab B2-36 to make an appointment.  You may receive up to 1 extra
      credit point per week for your tutoring sessions in the Learning Lab if
      you bring back a statement signed by the tutor.

      If several students are able to meet at the same time and if no Math 150
      tutor is available at that time see Gail Chaskes in the Math Learning Lab
      B2-36 about forming a study group.

      If you are willing and able to tutor Math 118 or a higher level course for
      minimum wage see Gail Chaskes in the Math Learning Lab B2-36.  The more
      courses you can tutor the better.  Generally you need to know the course
      at the A level in order to tutor a particular course.

      ATTENDANCE AND PROMPTNESS:  Attendance will be taken daily as required
      by the college.  Three latenesses count as one absence.  If you are
      absent more than once through October 1 or more than twice through
      November 12, I will report to the college that your attendance is
      unsatisfactory.  If you are absent more than twice through November 19
      you should discuss your situation with me.  Otherwise you may be dropped
      from the course.

      If you are on financial aid and must miss class more than once
      through October 1 or more than twice through November 12 you should
      discuss your situation with me.  Otherwise your financial aid may be
      discontinued.

      INCLEMENT WEATHER:  In the event of inclement weather there are several
      ways of determining whether CCP is open.  You may listen for CCP's
      school closing number 238 on KYW radio at 1060 on the AM dial or check
      KYW's school closing web page at http://www2.kyw1060.com/schools/ or
      for 95 cents a call you may call KYW's school closing phone number at
      1-900-737-1060.  Usually if SEPTA is running close to normal then CCP
      will remain open.

      GIFTS:  To avoid any apperance of impropriety no gifts of any kind will
      be accepted.
