Required Course Materials

Karlin, Robert A. Behavioral Statistics in Simple English.  5th Edition - Revision 1

We will also be using CPS Pulse clickers (ISBN 978-1-881483-81-6) from eInstruction.

If you already have one, you can reuse it for this course. You must have the "Pulse" model, which allows you to enter numbers as well as letters. Older models may not work.

Both are available at New Jersey Books, 37 Easton Ave.

Copies of the text are on reserve at the Kilmer Area Library.

A middle level scientific calculator (in the $10 - $25 range, with the ability to take square roots, and to square numbers and store them in several registers) would be useful. A more expensive one will not necessarily be better since you will have to show your calculations on exams and homework problems.

Information on how to register your clicker is on the Course Home Page on sakai.

The Syllabus contains information about the course, and the course schedle.
