Tuesday HW/Sub Plans

Tuesday's HW (due Thursday):


1.) First, please complete questions a, b, and c on the "Alzheimer's" slide/context provided in class or below.

• For a and be try to be detailed, but concise! k.
• For question c:
• A confounding variable is a variable that "confuses us." In this context we want to examine the impacts of smoking on whether or not a person develops Alzheimer's. This question is asking us to explain how "exercise status" may "confuse us" in determining how smoking relates to the development of Alzheimer's or not.
• To answer part c, consider:
• How might exercise status relate to smoking?
• How might exercise status relate to a person developing Alzheimer's (or not)? 
• And then, as a result, why might "exercise status" prevent us from determining if smoking is related to a person developing Alzheimer's or not?

2.) SCORE YOUR RESPONSE!

• Read the entire section about question 3--sample answers and scoring and notes--before you even look at your own answer
• Now, read the scoring rubric and determine your own score--give yourself an E, P, or I for each part (a, b, c)
• Then, give yourself an overall score of 1-4!
• I'll be looking for completion AND scoring when I check HW on Thursday!
• 2016 Scoring Rubric! (Click Me and Scroll to Question 3!)

Wednesday's Sub Plans:

• You will need the full period so please ask the sub (nicely) for your work immediately and get started!
• You have 18 multiple choice questions: most are based on experimental design, but some are based on review
• You may use your notes and work individually, with a partner, or with a small group (no more than 4)
• Show work for any questions with a ** (there are only a couple of them)
• Read carefully!
• Do your best and use your full time! You would have approximately 40.5 minutes to complete 18 multiple choice on the AP exam, so you are absolutely expected to finish
• Turn in all work to the sub! If you do not turn in your "packet" to the sub you will be given a 0!

Monday's Notes:

• If you were out Monday (or Friday from period A) you missed some important stuff about random assignment of treatments--here you go!
