SSCI 210 : "Statistical
Analysis 1"
Online Summer 2013
This
is a tentative course schedule that may have to be changed
updated as of: 7/5/2013 11:35 AM
Important note about experimental videos
There
are two versions of experimental videos one I call “best quality” and one I
call “lower quality.” They are just
that – an experiment! I do not know how
well or poorly they will work.
“Lower quality” videos
For
the lower quality videos I personally video taped myself for a semester with a
cheap digital camera and put them up on the web. I’ve used these for a couple of years and
students have reported there are times when the picture and sound are poor and
other times when it’s perfect. I did the
best I could on my own. You will need the free software called Real Player to
view the videos. Go to realplayer.com
and download the free version. If you
have trouble read the following link: Help

“Best quality” videos
The
best quality videos were done very recently by a brand new IT person hired at
UHWO for this purpose. He used two
cameras. Camera 1 takes screen shots
every few moments and you can actually zoom in on this picture and move it
around. That should allow you to see
what I write on the board more clearly.
Camera 2 is
a side shot of me to give you sound and some visual continuity. The thumbnail frames on the bottom allow
you to see progress as you fast forward using fast forward bar [or whatever
it’s called]. The IT people inform me
they will work with any browser and MAC or PC.
Thus the official lectures for the course
are the text lectures.
Because
both of these video streams are expericemental, the official
lectures for this course are the text pdf files! Let me say that again: the official lectures for this course are
the text pdf files! The videos are NOT
a substitute for reading the lectures [or attending class for in person
classes]. Lastly, I do not have videos
for all the lectures; but I hope to add them in the future if these videos
work.
You
should read the text lectures first, then if you wish watch one of the
experimental video streams. But above
all, I expect you to read the text lectures.
Since
I have no idea how well or poorly even these high quality
videos work, if you want to give me feedback on them that would be
great. If you notice issues you will
need to note the exact elapsed time where the issues occur.

note above about the experimental videos and note that the
official
lectures for this course are the text pdf files! Let me say that again: the official lectures for this course

the following links: Here
are the best ways to contact
me and when I’m available. Read syllabus,
HW's #1 and 2 (links below) Also
read this very important link about early
drafts. Watch
this video: come
get help when lost! Read
this about how
to avoid double emailing professor Download
and install the SPSS software tonight so you don't have problems right before
you need to use the program [see the syllabus for more information and links
to find SPSS software]. Take
note of the due dates for all tests and HW's [below in this course
schedule]. Due to the nature of an
accelerated summer school session, we will cover the material very
quickly. The test due dates will allow
you some study time, but do not wait until the test due dates to take the
tests. Take the tests much earlier
than the due dates, as suggested by this schedule, and you will be very
happy. Procrastinate and your
performance will suffer greatly. |

internet you can use it see "Optional Book Information" on the

Please read my policy on early
drafts. I suggest early drafts and
will return drafts on a "first-come first-served" basis to the best
of my ability. As deadlines approach I
might send you an email saying "all the early birds have eaten the
worms" meaning I won't be able to review any more drafts before the
deadline and you have to do your best on your own. I work very hard on early drafts but I'm only
human
and can only do so many. This is your
early warning. I don't want you to be
left struggling, confused, and lost all on your own! In general, I will review one draft
of each problem and
email it back to you with suggestions to fix the errors. The next time you send me the question I
will “grade it.” It is okay to finish
the assignments and tests early and piece by piece
in this fashion. |

Hint for Test
3 and Test
4 (which are both take home exams): Study by doing practice
problems. When done w/ practice
problems do take home exam question related to the lecture.
Professor will review EARLY
drafts of take home exam questions to the best of his ability! Regardless
of whether or not you do an early draft of test 3 and 4, please cut and paste
the exam into your word processing program and type out answers and insert spss output into the proper places. Thus cutting and pasting the exam into your
word processor and typing out the answers is the best way to ensure a high
grade on tests 3 and 4! |
