Student learning outcomes

Similar to ADA1, but at a higher level.

Assessment

  • Quizzes will be due each Tuesday before class.  Purpose: to assess reading and video comprehension and assure you’re prepared to actively participate in class activities with minimal lecture. (About 12, 20% of final grade.)  Most weeks plan for 1-2 hours reading and video, 20-minute quiz. Quizzes are not timed, they can be taken twice, and the higher of the two scores is used for grade calculation.
    • Viewing quiz solutions after the due date in UNM Learn is not intuitive.  Click on the “Begin” button (this is the non-intuitive part since you are not actually beginning the quiz), then click “View All Attempts” to see the scores.  Finally, click the score in the “Calculated Grade” column to see the feedback for each question of the quiz.
  • Worksheet assignments.  Purpose: to struggle and find success in class with the concepts and skills. (About 24, includes class participation, 78% of final grade) Most weeks plan to finish in class.
  • Course surveys are due at the end of the course (EvalKit).  (About 1, 2% of final grade.)
  • The lowest 2-weeks worth of assignments are dropped, so your lowest 2 quizzes and 4 worksheet assignments are not included in the calculation of your grade.
Final grade may include a small buffer at the discretion of the instructor. For example, final grade could be the total points earned divided by the total possible points times 0.98 for graduate students and 0.95 for undergraduate students. That is [Final Grade] = [Points Earned]/[Points possible * 0.95] so that your grade is slightly higher than you earned.

Submission

  • All assignments in this class are electronic, submitted to UNM Learn.  For all submissions: (1) In RMarkdown, knit Rmd file to HTML, (2) Open HTML file in your internet browser, (3) Print HTML to pdf file, (4) Submit pdf to UNM Learn.
  • Browser choice: Chrome is the best browser choice.  On a Mac, Safari adds “.txt” to RMarkdown files when downloaded, and Firefox sometimes fails on upload of a pdf to UNM Learn.
  • Late assignments will not be accepted.
  • Rubrics guide assessment (and self-assessment) of homework, code, projects, exams, and presentations.  Each assignment will have its own specific rubric.
  • The use of R and RMarkdown are required for the course.  This will include all of the R code for the assignment with the part of the problem it addresses in a fixed-width font and syntax highlighting. You will weave your code with prose narrations of your work and solutions.

Collaboration and citation

  • For homework, I encourage you to work together. Please discuss the data, code, and problems with one another, but do your own exploration and write up. We expect everyone to hand in substantially different homework, and we will enforce this under the honor code. The small benefit you might get from plagiarism is not worth the severe penalty (of lost trust, being reported to the dean, no points for the assignment, etc.).
  • As in life, please use any resources available to you. Projects and some homework will explicitly encourage you to use resources on the internet, but showing extra initiative will always be appreciated. You may find R programming tough at first, so feel free to discuss your problems with other classmates or meet with or email questions to the TAs or me.
  • I encourage you to use the ideas of others, but make them your own, giving credit. For projects have a formal bibliography, for homework cite casually, and for code simply copy the URL into your code as a comment (which is doubly helpful to you for finding the resource again).

Statements

Accommodations

  • In accordance with University Policy 2310 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), academic accommodations may be made for any student who notifies the instructor of the need for an accommodation. It is imperative that you take the initiative to bring such needs to the instructor’s attention, as I am not legally permitted to inquire. Students who may require assistance in emergency evacuations should contact the instructor as to the most appropriate procedures to follow. Contact Accessibility Resource Center at 277-3506 for additional information.
  • UNM is committed to providing courses that are inclusive and accessible for all participants. As your instructor, it is my objective to facilitate an accessible classroom setting, in which students have full access and opportunity. If you are experiencing physical or academic barriers, or concerns related to mental health, physical health and/or COVID-19, please consult with me after class, via email/phone or during office hours. You are also encouraged to contact the Accessibility Resource Center at arcsrvs@unm.edu or by phone 277-3506.

Credit-hours

  • This is a three-credit-hour course. Class meets for two 75-minute sessions of direct instruction for fifteen weeks during the semester. Students are expected to complete a minimum of six hours of out-of-class work (or homework, study, assignment completion, and class preparation) each week.

Title IX statement

  • In an effort to meet obligations under Title IX, UNM faculty, Teaching Assistants, and Graduate Assistants are considered “responsible employees” by the Department of Education (see page 15 of https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/qa-201404-title-ix.pdf) requires that any report of gender discrimination that includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and sexual violence made to a faculty member, TA, or GA must be reported to the Title IX Coordinator at the Office of Equal Opportunity (https://oeo.unm.edu). For more information on the campus policy regarding sexual misconduct, see: https://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/2000/2740.html

Citizenship and/or Immigration Status

  • All students are welcome in this class regardless of citizenship, residency, or immigration status. Your professor will respect your privacy if you choose to disclose your status. As for all students in the class, family emergency-related absences are normally excused with reasonable notice to the professor, as noted in the attendance guidelines above. UNM as an institution has made a core commitment to the success of all our students, including members of our undocumented community. The Administration’s welcome is found on our website: http://undocumented.unm.edu/.

Support in Receiving Help and in Doing What is Right

  • I encourage students to be familiar with services and policies that can help them navigate UNM successfully. Many services exist to help you succeed academically and to find your place at UNM, see students.unm.edu or ask me for information about the right resource center or person to contact. UNM has important policies to preserve and protect the academic community, especially policies on student grievances (Faculty Handbook D175 and D176), academic dishonesty (FH D100), and respectful campus (FH CO9). These are in the Student Pathfinder (https://pathfinder.unm.edu) and the Faculty Handbook (https://handbook.unm.edu) Please ask for help in understanding and avoiding plagiarism or academic dishonesty, which can both have very serious disciplinary consequences.

Land Acknowledgement

  • Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The original peoples of New Mexico Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache since time immemorial, have deep connections to the land and have made significant contributions to the broader community statewide. We honor the land itself and those who remain stewards of this land throughout the generations and also acknowledge our committed relationship to Indigenous peoples. We gratefully recognize our history.

Our Classroom

We’re doing this because:
  • We want you to be empowered with statistics.
  • We believe everyone should get out of this course with awesome skills
  • Real-time feedback promotes efficient learning
“It encourages me to engage actively with the course material and take responsibility for my learning.”

GAISE Connections

Our six recommendations include the following:
  1. Emphasize statistical literacy and develop statistical thinking
  2. Use real data
  3. Stress conceptual understanding, rather than mere knowledge of procedures
  4. Foster active learning in the classroom
  5. Use technology for developing conceptual understanding and analyzing data
  6. Use assessments to improve and evaluate student learning

Learning without thought is labor lost. What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand. – Confucius

Old news

Step 0

Before our first class (Tue 1/21) please read through the following actions and install the required software on your computer and complete the brief survey. If you don’t have a computer, there are classroom computers which will be available only when the classroom is open. Video for this process (ignore the “crowdgrader” portion).
  1. Complete surveys
    1. a short Opinio pre-survey required for classroom assessment (1/20 – 2/1/2020).
  2. Install R (windows or mac) or upgrade, then Rstudio. Videos that may be helpful:
  3. Install R packages,
    1. Run RStudio
    2. Run code in R packages.
    3. Update all packages, RStudio Packages tab, click “update”, click “select all”, and “Install Updates”. Say “Yes” to restart R, but if it asks a second time, say “No”.  Say “No” to “install from sources” if it asks.
  4. Set up your computer
    1. RStudio disable notebook
    2. Operating system to be more friendly to programming.
  5. (Postpone until later: Install LaTeX (for poster at end of the semester).)
 

RMarkdown and knitr issues

  • R errors, unresolved, and out of time If you’re saying: “An error while knitting keeps me from turning in the assignment…”, then use code chunk option
```{r, error = TRUE}
to ignore the error and continue. This will allow you to turn in partial assignments with errors.
  • Unicode compile problems:  If you knit to pdf you may get this error: “! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char”.  ASCII is a small character set what we use to program in, Unicode is an extended character set that looks pretty (for example “straight quotes” become “curly quotes”) but causes code to break.  You get unwanted Unicode when you copy/paste from a pdf or some other source into your code.  To fix this, you have to find the Unicode and replace it with it’s ASCII equivalent.  To do this: Ctrl-F to find, search for “[^\x00-\x7F]” (without quotes), select “Regex” for regular expressions, and find the “Next” one.  As it finds instances, replace the characters manually until there are no more.  These characters will typically be curly quotes or fancy dashes.

Pre-course to-dos

Did you receive a registration error for Spring 2021? Send me an email with the following answers:
  1. What registration error did you get (copy/paste is best)?
  2. What is your UNM ID?
  3. What is your Math/Stat background (that is, do you have the pre-requisites)?
If you are waitlisted, as long as there are seats available I will override you into the course. Don’t worry.
