I am emailing a link of this to everyone on the class list every week. If you are not receiving these emails or want to have them sent to another email address feel free to email me at jpmccarthymaths@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list.

Attendance

Just in case you haven’t heard: if you don’t come to class, you are almost certainly going to fail this module. You are in your second semester now.

If you want you can learn this lesson for yourself. However if you trust me you will come to class.

Manuals, Graph Paper and Excel Labs

The manual and graph paper must be purchased immediately. 

If you have missed Excel labs (we have an Excel lab in odd-numbered weeks), you should get the lab off me in the lecture and do it on your own. There is a 15% Excel Test in Week 12.

Week 4

We did three full exam questions… there was an issue with the formula for the mode which I will hope to sort out quite soon.

 

Week 5

I will give you some time to work on the Chapter 1 material so that you will be very well prepared for your test in Week 7.

Our Excel lab will be working out how to handle frequency distributions in Excel.
