    • Buy texts: Statistics: Informed Decisions Using Data (4th Edition, bundled with MyLab and Mastering) and students solution manual. 

      • Required texts can be bought from PNC bookstore (1-219-785-5247).

      • To repeat: text must be BUNDLED with online package MyLab and Mastering (also called MyLab/Mastering, MyStatLab, MyMathLab, but NOT MathXL)

    • Print STAT 301D syllabus 

    • Logon to your Blackboard Learn account by the first day of classes.

    • Register into MyLab and Mastering (you need both a Course ID from me and a Student Access Code from text)

      • You are allowed to use MyLab and Mastering free for TWO WEEKS before paying

      • provide email address you want me to use when registering in MyLab and Mastering

    • You will be blocked from starting any MyLab assignments until you: 

      • send me a telephone number that gets through to you 

      • send me an email address you really use

      • set up a skype contact with me (may never use skype but screen-share feature very useful if you need my help)

      • book quiz 4 and final exam times for online supervision (webcam and microphone are required)

      (It is important to keep up.  Please contact me if you are falling behind.  I will make a point of contacting students who miss assignments or have a D/F.)

    • check out tutorial videos for StatCrunch 

      (You are NOT required to use StatCrunch, however, I highly recommend you use it: it is free with purchase of MyLab.  I use StatCrunch with the class students.  Having said this, I have created tutorial videos on TI-84+ calculator which are available in Blackboard.)
