Back to the grind...
Can you believe that progress report grades are already closing this Friday? Craziness.
Homework for tonight: complete the worksheet regarding the Normal model I handed out in. You can skip "part d" on the bottom. And this is not worth 28 points as stated at the top--this is our first practice, so it'll count as any other homework assignment. (Yes, I'm checking.)
I apologize for the lack of real data on this assighnment...it's not usually my style, but this is an actual assignment from a college course so I thought it'd be interesting.

It's the weekend!
Can you believe that this upcoming week is the last week of September? Wow. It's flying by already...before you know it, we'll be on winter break.
Anyway, that's enough dreaming about vacations. For now, you have 9 problems to do for homework.
Page 124: 16-20, 24, 25
Page 133: 15, 17
Do it up! You can expect some review questions on each homework this week as we move toward our Unit 1 Exam.
And now you all have this sweet Barron's review guide to help enhance understanding; if you come in on Monday with "I didn't get it," that's still a 0 on your homework. Of course there's nothing wrong with getting homework incorrect--this is practice--but not even trying something, showing some thinking, is totally unacceptable. Step your game up.

How was the quiz today? (It's not over yet...)
How was it? Today was our first "big deal" quiz I'd say. The chapter 3 quiz we had was pretty intense too, but today's quiz was challenging and worth more points...
But it's not over yet...
Your homework tonight is to complete the 18 multiple choice questions handed out in class...You will be graded out of 10 points for the quiz grade.
ANY EXTRA POINTS YOU EARN WILL GO TOWARD YOUR MC TEST GRADE. So, for example, let's say you got an 15/10 on tonight's multiple choice, but had a 20/30 on the test...well thanks to your hard work, those extra 5 points turn your test into a 25/30. So as you can see, tonight's work is incredibly important. Try to get a 100 and add 8 points to your grade! Work hard!
And if you have the opportunity, work together!
