Course Requirements

Welcome to Biz Stats!  I believe you will learn a great deal about using statistics in the business world and, hopefully, have a little fun along the way.

This is a difficult course if you fall behind.  DON'T FALL BEHIND!  I'll do all I can to help you get through this course and don't be surprised if you earn an A.  A lot of students do.  I hope you do as well.

To get started:

1. Carefully read through the Syllabus

2. Review the Course Calendar and the Homework Assignments Schedule.  These are both located in the same place as the Syllabus.  Please note the extra credit Orientation Quiz is due by the end of the first week.

3. Explore the rest of the course content in Blackboard.  Notice the homework problem solutions are provided for you as well as a bunch of extra credit quizzes that you make re-take until you earn the full credit.  These are very good practice for the exams.  

4. Once you feel comfortable with what's in Blackboard, start the assigned reading, then do the assigned homework problems checking your answers against the solutions.  If you get stuck, contact me for help.  

5. After completing the homework, then I suggest you complete the extra credit quiz and then once you feel really good about the material, take the exam.

6. Keep on schedule per the calendar!!  Falling behind is VERY dangerous in an on-line course.

7. Please shoot me an email if you need help on a problem, or want to schedule a call with me or in person time. If urgent, text me.   I am available to help you successfully complete this course! 

Best,

Professor Fred.
