Week 9

You Got This!

Welcome to Elementary Statistics, Week 9. This week we have Checkpoint 3. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to be best prepared for this Checkpoint.

Suggestion for preparing for a Checkpoint:

Review or try more problems from the HW.
Make sure you have written all the notes from the Videos from Section 6 - Section 7, the Checkpoint will specifically be on these sections
Students are allowed 1 page of notes front and back so make sure to write all important concepts on your page of notes. Also, students can use the z score table, Tables Z Scores
MOST IMPORTANT: To help solidify concepts and help boost confidence on the material, Create a practice Exam to test yourself on the notes from Section 6 - Section 7, see Practice Exam Template

Also review these documents:

Practicing Good Study Habits

Growth Mindset Statements

Remember that you do not get graded on the Checkpoint specifically. After all students have completed the Checkpoint, I post the solutions and students then follow the instructions for the Self Grade and Reflections assignment. After students follow the directions for that assignment, a score will be given along with feedback. See the instructions here 🤓Checkpoint 3 Self Grade and Reflections

During the course, keeping up with the notes is one of the most important things to do in the class. Since we have Checkpoints about every three weeks, it may be a good idea to :

First Week: Take ALL of the notes from the videos(and submit video reflections) that go with that specific Checkpoint, very briefly glance at the HW(like maybe do a couple of easy problems in each assignment), and post in the discussion board
Second Week: Use your notes side by side with the HW and ONLY do the ones SPECIFICALLY related to those notes, and maybe try some of the more challenging HW problems if possible, and post in the discussion board
Third Week: Spend 2 or 3 days cleaning up HW topics, then write a Practice Exam based solely off of the notes, and practice taking the Exam as many times as you can until the Checkpoint for that Module
