Spring 2024 STA 2000
@ Baruch College (CUNY)
sylSTA2000_SP2024.pdfThe above is MY syllabus for our section, ETRA. During Spring 2024 there will be a departmental final exam. The common syllabus for all sections of STA 2000 may be found HERE. Please do let me know if you find any significant differences between the common syllabus and the one above.
As we go along I will note here the very few things that may be explained differently in the online lecture notes in this website and the assigned textbook:
The population proportion is denoted by an uppercase P in my online lectures and by the Greek letter π in the textbook.
Our section of STA 2000 is a hybrid in-person and synchronous-online class. Tuesdays we meet in room 12-150 (VC) and Thursdays we meet over Zoom, both at 2:30-3:45PM. Exams and Quizzes will take place as indicated in the course outline below.
