Welcome

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Math 13 - Elementary Statistics! I am glad to have all of you in the class and I look forward to meeting all of you. I plan on opening the course early (by March 13) so folks can look through the course and check things out. I do need to adjust dates so just be aware of that.

A couple of things to do while you are poking around:

View the welcome video on the homepage to get a brief tour of our course.

Get started on the Orientation Module

Make sure you are comfortable scanning written work on more than 1 page and submitting as a pdf file

If you have any questions, just let me know. You can contact me through CANVAS Inbox (this is preferred) or at rkaeser@peralta.edu. Also, make sure to check your CANVAS Inbox daily, as I send emails periodically. Please check Announcements on the homepage to see Updates and Reminders for each Week.

There are 3 required "Conference" dates for students to meet with me during the semester. These dates can be in person or on zoom, but they are required in order for me to give points on certain assignments. Each meeting should take between 10 to 30 minutes and basically it is a "check in" with students to make sure you are on track with everything. In order to pass the course, students MUST meet with me for these conferences. Below is a breakdown of when students need to meet with me:

1st required Conference time frame, Week 1 , & Week 2 During this meeting, be prepared to discuss the items on this Checklist.

2nd required Conference time frame, Week 7 & Week 8. During this meeting, be prepared to discuss the items on this Checklist.

3rd required Conference time frame, Week 15 & Week 16. During this meeting, be prepared to discuss the items on this Checklist.

You can find the the Google Doc sheets in the 📜Syllabus - Course Overview, Office Hours, and Conference Appointment Sheets.

I am also pasting the zoom link below:

Students can check in with me ANY time on zoom between 12pm - 5pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, or Thursday from 9am -12pm.

If you are unable to visit me during this time window, let me know and we can possibly schedule another time.
