TI-83 or 84 Graphing Calculator is Required Complete the course material by Spring Break Each Quarter will be weighted 80% Tests/Quizzes and 20% Homework. I collect the unit Homework on Test Day. Final Grades will be based on 40% for each Quarter and 20% for Final Exam. Unlike in years past, AP Stat will have a Final Exam at the end of First Semester.

We typically have 3 weeks to review for the AP Test and take a practice Exam (Final Exam) The AP Exam is the afternoon of May 3, 2011 The State of Indiana has picked up all but $8 in the past.

A Graphing Calculator is strongly encouraged. Don’t grade as much homework as in previous courses since these are the students who will move on to Calculus and need to develop independent study habits – do the assigned work because it was assigned not because they will receive a grade Each Quarter the Tests/Quizzes will make up 80% of their grade and the Homework/In-Class work will make up 20% of their grade. Test about every three weeks and the tests are cumulative. 1 st Quarter we will have 2 tests and the Midterm. 2 nd Quarter we will have 3 tests. The Semester grade will be computed using 40% for each Quarter and 20% for the Final Exam.

IB students will have two units - one each semester -to work on independently. Of course they may get assistance during SRT They will have two Portfolio questions – one each semester. They will also have a “practice” question before they do the real thing. They are receiving a half-weighted grade so this extra work is expected and required.
