Description
This AP Statistics course is an online course covering topics in Probability, Regression Analysis, and Sampling Distributions. While taking the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics exam is not required, this course prepares students to succeed on the AP Statistics exam and subsequent courses that draw on material from this course. Online interactives and assignments help to reinforce concepts taught in the course. Exams contain both multiple choice and free response questions modeled after the AP Statistics exam.
Students will learn statistics by reading from the textbook, watching online videos, interacting with online resources, and solving many practice problems. Students are expected to watch videos and review notes regularly. Each student is assigned to a CTY instructor to help them during their course.
In this course, participation in forums and synchronous online virtual sessions are required as part of the final grade. Discussion forums are located within the course where students will be required to respond to a given prompt and then comment on responses by other students. Online sessions, led by a CTY instructor, are held in Adobe Connect, which allows for video, voice, text, screen sharing, and whiteboard interaction.
Students can contact their instructors via email with questions or concerns at any time. Live one-on-one online review sessions can be scheduled as well, to prepare for the graded assessments, which include homework, quizzes, projects, chapter exams, a midterm exam, and a cumulative final.
This course has been reviewed and approved by the College Board to use the "AP" designation.
