Descriptive statistics, elements of probability theory, and basic ideas of statistical inference. Topics include frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and dispersion, commonly occurring distributions (binomial, normal, etc.), estimation, and testing of hypotheses. Prerequisite: high school algebra. (Gen.Ed. R2) [Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

The non-honors version of the course covers basics of probability, random variables, binomial and normal distributions, central limit theorem, hypothesis testing, and simple linear regression. Through additional assigned readings and weekly discussions, the 1-credit honors colloquium will prepare students to conduct basic statistical studies by expanding on the material covered in Linear Regression and introducing the basics of ANOVA and analysis of categorical data, using the statistical package Minitab.

The Commonwealth Honors College thesis or project is intended to provide students with the opportunity to work closely with faculty members to define and carry out in-depth research or creative endeavors. It provides excellent preparation for students who intend to continue their education through graduate study or begin their professional careers. The student works closely with their 499Y Honors Research sponsor to pursue research on a topic or question of special interest to them in preparation for writing a 499T Honors Thesis or completing a 499P Honors Project.

This is the course for an Honors Thesis in Civic Engagement and Service-Learning. Honors Thesis expectations are high. The intended end-product is a traditional research manuscript with accompanying artifact(s), all theses: - are 6 credits or more of sustained research on a single topic, typically conducted over two semesters. - begin with creative inquiry and systematic research. - include documentation of substantive scholarly endeavor. - culminate in an oral defense or other form of public presentation.

This first class of the two-semester Honors Thesis Seminar is designed for seniors in the Commonwealth Honors College with recent experience in service-learning and/or community engagement who wish to deepen their praxis - the combination of theory and practice - within their chosen area of community work. Throughout the Fall semester, students work both in the classroom and with a self-selected community partner and develop a collaborative civic/community engagement project.
