Welcome to Prob & Stats/AP Stats
Mr. CHARD ROOM 243-C
Students, Stat & Probability (S&P) is designed to prepare you for several college courses, and as so, it will sometimes be taught similar to a college level course. Your daily grade is a small part of your final grade. The remaining portion is from teacher graded materials. We are on the semester schedule and this demands a rapid pace. We will often cover two lessons a day with homework from each lesson. Here are some important bits of information:
S & P Stuff—in addition to the normal school supplies (paper, pencils) you will need:
- A 1”-2” loose leaf binder or spiral leaf dedicated only to Statistics & Probability
- Calculator (TI-Nspire)
- Graph paper (needed occasionally during semester)
S & P Grading—your quarter grades will be based on the following percentages:
- Summative (Chapter Tests, Mid-chapter Quizzes, & Major Projects) 55%
- Formative (Minor Quizzes, Minor Projects, Homework & Classwork) 45%
–No Midterm Exam
–your Final grade will be 45% first quarter, 45% second quarter and 10% final exam
The Stats on Rules
- The Agenda is our rule-book, we will follow it closely
- Respect for the property and feelings of others is expected
- Bottled drinks are the only ‘food’ allowed in the classroom
- Attitude is a choice, make a good choice and bring a good attitude
- The Discipline policy and the Make-up Policy in the Agenda will be adhered to (Please read these carefully)
This can be a great semester and I am here to help you succeed.
Respectfully yours,
Johnny Chard
