Mathematics
Title: AP Statistics (Fall Semester)
Credit: 0.5 units
Lessons: 7 lessons, 7 submitted
Exams: 2 exams
Grading: Computer and Faculty Evaluated
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra II.
Description: Similar to a college statistics course, this course is the first of two half units designed to help students prepare for the College Board’s Advanced Placement examination in statistics. Students meet, practice, and compare the major concepts and skills for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data and random phenomena. To be ready for the AP exam and to allow progress through online collaboration with other students, this course uses a calendar of topics, practice, progress evaluations, and exams. Following a semester timeline, students will work directly with their teacher and other classmates during scheduled online discussions.

Note: College Board authorized this course.

Gifted: This course is academically challenging. Any student who has an interest in the subject and has met the prerequisites (if any), may enroll.


Special Instructions: Enrollment begins the first business day of May; course starts August 31, 2009. Class size is limited. Students must have an email account to enroll and agree to participate in online discussions. The course content will be viewable two weeks prior to the start date. Enrollment in the spring semester of this course, which starts in January, begins the first business day of October.

Note: AP courses follow a specific calendar, and the normal 9-month completion policy does not apply to these courses. Therefore, students who have not completed all work by the due date for the course final (listed on the course calendar) will automatically be withdrawn from the course.

Materials Note: Students will need to register online for StatCrunch; this requires a credit card transaction.
